Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
I just recently had a creditor garnish my wages and I need it to stop immediately. What steps do I need to take quickly to ensure my wage aren't garnished before my next pay period? It appears I will have to file for bankruptcy as I living hand to mouth currently and barely holding on to a job.
Any swift information you can provide is greatly appreciated.

It is not that easy. You need to assert some exemptions pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedures around sections 780 et seq. File an exemption with the court and serve it on the creditor.
You are way late asking for help with this, and posting on the internet is only slowing you down further. Call a local lawyer and make an appointment. There is little likelihood that anything can be done before your next paycheck, but the longer you go without seeing a lawyer, the more trouble you will be in.
