Garnishments are ordered by the court - and cannot be changed without you petitioning the court for a reduction, etc. In order to impose a garnishment, the plaintiff must prove a debt is owed, and a judgement is imposed. The garnishment stays in place until the debt is paid in full.
If you don't believe you owe this debt - you need to contact legal counsel to discuss resolution.

A wage garnishment is where the collector goes to court and has you served stating they will begin deducting from your paycheck, and they can take up to 60 percent of your pay. If you already have a judgement against you, and you are already being garnished, there isn't much you can do, other than quitting your job. Now, if it hasn't already began, call and make arrangements to pay. There may be a court day set to where you go before a judge and he or she will ask why you haven't been paying and if you are willing to start. He will send you aside with the lawyer for the collector and you will set up a payment schedule. It is really best that you do this and try to come to some sort of agreement, or else you will be losing a big chunck of youre check.

Gotta do what you're required to do by the court order for the length of time it states. Depends what you're being garnished for. If it's child support, it may continue until the child is 18. If it's for a debt, it's taken until the debt is paid. Then you have to notify the court the debt is settled possibly

Pay your debts??? some people says it like it is so easy for everyone...the credit system was created to do just that, enslave people til they can't live anymore...change your bank account, open is someone else's name (your kids or brother or parents) change jobs and make sure you never give your creditors your phone numbers, tell them to contact you by mail, show the judge that you only have enough money to pay for food and basic needs...the banks don't give it *** about you so why should you.

Do you mean wage garnishments?
Go to court and yell at the judge about it.

Avoid them in the first place. Only way to stop them is to pay them off.

Suck it up, pay off your debts and then stay out of debt for good.
