Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Check with the Court that issued the wage garnishment order. The amount on the garnishment is going to be the amount of the judgment at the Court. That amount includes the original amount owed, plus attorneys fees, court costs (pre-and-post judgment), service-of-process costs and interest on the judgment. Unless there is a mistake - which is unlikely - then you probably have passed the point where you could attack the judgment, and you are stuck with it. I suggest working out a means of paying it off sooner than later, or consider bankruptcy, as the judgment is growing at a high rate of interest each day it is not paid.
