Can someone tell me what is going on with old judgements....?

Back in 2010 after losing my job i defaulted on 4 of my credit card accounts. Being that i was young, and in a bad spot, i kind of had a "I don't care" attitude to it all. I didnt understand much about credit card debt at the time, and had no clue about lawsuits and judgements. I paid off one account and thats over with. My BofAmerica credit card was charged off and sold off to a collection agency and still shows on my reporst. The collection agency however does not, nor as i recall has ever shown up. And as far as i know i have never been sued for this debt and now its past the SOL if i am correct. On the other hand, Cap1 and Discover both have filed judgements against me through the same debt collecting lawfirn which also happened in 2010 IIRC. They Cap1 started garnishing my paychecks starting in 2012. Discover was pretty much waiting in line i suppose since they cant both collect at the same time. I moved from NY to FL in Fall 2012. My paychecks had stopped getting garnished by the end of 2014, but the debts are still not fully paid. The collection lawfirm still sends debt letters to my parents house in NY. But the wierd thing is that my credit reports dont, and have never as i recall, shown any public records/judgements.  So basically, any reason why my paychecks stopped being garnished? Why my credit reports dont have any public records? Did my moving to Florida have any effect on those judgements? Can ANYONE put the pieces of the puzzle together for me? haha. Thanks in advance. Feel free to ask any questions if i left something out. That is if anyone has absolutely anything to say on this!

The judgment and order of garnishement are valid within the jurisdiction of the judgment court.When you move from one state to another, the judgment must be "domesticated" to your new state, meaning they must motion the court to essentially accept the judgment rendered in your prior state. They will likely find you and take that action As for credit reporting, public record information is not "reported" in the same fashion as other items of information.The CRAs, to supplement their tiles and thus increase the value of their product, comission their own public records searches from private searchers.Some do better jobs than others, and some courts are a bit more obsure or harder to obtain the information.
