You can, however, stop the garnishment by filing a bankruptcy case.

In some instances you can negotiate a payment plan with your creditor to stop wage garnishment.Most creditors are willing to work out a payment plan with you rather than file the expensive forms and go through the legal process of garnishing your wages.
