Re: Garnishment of 75 percent of wages

First, there should be a docket number on the papers you have received from the court. You can call the court and give them that number, and they should be able to find the case.

Second, you may be a candidate for bankruptcy. A chapter 7 case would immediately stop all collection activity, including garnishment. Call a lawyer familiar with bankruptcy law to find out if that option is right for you.
