Pay the money you owe.

The Consumer Credit Protection Act limits the amount that you can be garnished for a non-tax, non-child-support debt, and also prohibits employers from terminating you because of any one indebtedness (even if you get multiple garnishment orders for that debt). See Title 29, United States Code of Federal Regulations, Part 870 for details. You can contact the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division at www.dol.gov or at 1-866-4US-WAGE for more information, as well.
Beyond these statutory guidelines, though, the garnishment is really a court order, and your best bet to alter it in any way is to either a) go back to the court that issued the order, or b) go to the creditor, and try to negotiate something.
Good luck.
