You should see a bankruptcy lawyer right away. We can stop the garnishment, and discharge the underlying debt in most cases.

Re: wage garnesment

Federal law limits the maximum amount that can be garnished by one or more garnishment orders to 25 percent of your disposable earnings for that week, or the amount by which disposable earnings for that week exceed thirty times the Federal minimum hourly wage, whichever is less. Further, the wage garnishment exemption in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts equals $125 of the debtor's weekly wages. Please feel free to contact my office direct for a free initial consult based upon the facts of your specific situation.;))

I understand. Ask the Court to revoke the garnishment order.
