It releases your garnishment! When a creditor sues you, they eventually get a judgment in court. With this judgment, they can send a letter to your employer so that they can garnish your wages.A release of garnishment would stop any future garnishments.

In general terms, to attempt to have a wage garnishment ended, modified or reversed, you have the following options. First, you could attempt to negotiate a monthly payment agreement with the creditor/collector.Third, you could file an appeal with the court if you do not agree with the garnishment.

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.
