You will be notified but, there has to be a court order to do this. They actually have to go to small claims court. They can't just hire an attorney and start taking money out of your check. Your employer should notify you as well because they will receive legal notification. If this is an IRS situatuion then they will just seize the money. Check with the labor board in your state to learn about your rights. http://www.lni.wa.gov/
