The levy can be reduced significantly if you petition the court, explain your circumstances, and show proof that you're unemployed and the rest of your bills that you must pay.

Not automatically, but there may be a basis on which to exempt at least a portion of it. You should consult with a lawyer about the specifics of your case.
