Hello. Apologies for delayed response due to the holiday period. Your assets can only be attached after a court process. This means you should have received a court summons and failed to defend it. There should have been a judgment followed by a warrant of execution, a copy of which should be given to you. If these were not done, you should not be losing sleep. Some debt collecting agencies are also in the business of scare tactics.
