You cannot be fired for just one garnishment and yes, you can file for bankruptcy an stop the garnishment.... but it is not dischargeable generally since it is a student loan and so the garnishment will come back after the automatic stay period ends....assuming you file a Chapter 7. Discuss it with a bankruptcy attorney and explore the possibility of a Chapter 13 to pay in a Plan over a period of up to five years.
