Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maine

I have an old reposession which I have been trying to get paid off. The collector claims that if i don't pay they can garnish my wages, and have already filed so they don't need a judgement to do so. I already have about 35% of my gross paycheck withheld each week to pay for delinquent state and federal backtaxes; can they still garnish another 25%?

PS: if they do so, it will be the 3rd garnishment and I will probably lose my job.
