Can a collection agency garnish your wages if you don't respond to a summons served in CA?

Answer

Yes. They can get a writ of judgment and enforce it in the form of wage garnishment. In civil court when a defendent does not answer a summons the plaintiff wins the case by default. Sometimes an appeal can be filed if there is a justifiable reason the defendent could not appear at the hearing.
