Good morning to you both, your input was enlightening, to say the least.

In this instance the case is legit, everything done in Cape Town and in an email from the employee to the firm of attorneys she has acknowledged that she owes the money. All the relevant correspondence was emailed to me late on Friday afternoon.

I am surprised to discover that I - or my business - is the garnishee, the sheriff needs no proof that the order was served, and that this could occur without my knowledge. And that I only found out about it four months later.

Despite the fact that the court order is addressed to the wrong firm(a business next door) and that the order states that the sheriff served the attachment order on me personally( named in the Court Order ) which is absolute BS, I will probably comply with it. It would simply be a waste of everybody's time and money to fight it on technicalities which can be corrected and the whole process would in any case repeat itself.

But I thank you for your input.
