I found this on the Georgia Secretary of State's web site: GARNISHMENT Garnishment is a court-ordered collection method available to creditors. Once the creditor files the garnishment papers, an employee can challenge the vailidity of the garnishment and the amount.
Employers can also challenge the garnishment but they must file an answer within 45 days of the date of the garnishment notice. If an employer fails to file the required answer, the creditor can seek a judgment against the employer for the full amount of the employee's debt. An employer may not discharge an employee on the basis that the creditor is garnishing the employee's wages.
You do have options. First challenge everything. Then, find out what happened and why. You might be able to get the judgement set aside if the proper rules were not followed.
Hope this helps.
