1 Answer from Attorneys
You may have to file a Motion to Quash the Garnishemt/execution.. You shoudl consult direclty with an attorne in yrou area, as to hwo you do that. Many attorneys offer a free or low cost initial consultation. The drafting of this motion shoudl nto cost you too much. If they are overpaid, the Judgmetn creditor has to return the excess to you upon demand. You shoudl let the judmgent creditor knwo tha tyour employer may be taking out too much, to see if they wish to contact the employer, or be ready to send you a refund check.
Good luck
