Can you stop a garnishment once it starts?

If it's already started, you can try to challenge the judgment or negotiate with the creditor. But, they're in the driver's seat, and if they don't allow you to stop a garnishment by agreeing to make voluntary payments, you can't really force them to. You can, however, stop the garnishment by filing a bankruptcy case.
