Bankruptcy Notification
A customer owing us money for services rendered e-mailed me after receiving a summons and complaint for the moneys owed stating he included this debt in a bankruptcy he had filed. I have never been formally notified of such nor had he filed an answer to the court, therefore I have proceeded with the suit against him and have since obtained a default judgement. Can I now proceed with the garnishment proceedings? I have reason to beleive the bankrptcy was actually started last year, long before this debt occured.

Re: Bankruptcy Notification
You need to be absolutely sure that this debt was not included in the bankruptcy, or you can be sanctioned by the court. Violations of the bankruptcy code are taken seriously by the bankruptcy court. Proceed with caution.
