Re: Stop Garnishment
You should contact a lawyer familiar with collections work. If you cannot afford to see one, go to the legal aid society. Many charitable organizations have referrals to neighborhood legal services, as do law schools or call a bar association. There are exemptions which you might be able to claim, or maybe the judgment being enforced is defective. (A garnishment is a method of enforcing a money judgment.)
Do something sooner rather than later.
