If you have a judgment against you for this debt they have a right to seek to garnish wages. If this is not a student Loan and it is only a tuition bill, then it may be discharged in bankruptcy and if you qualify and file for bankruptcy then you can stop the wage garnishment by filing an exception to garnishment based on the filing of bankruptcy. You would need to sit with a local bankruptcy attorney to review all of your assets and debts to determine whether or not you can file for bankruptcy, if you cannot then you would need a consumer protection law attorney to seek to file to stop the garnishment or at least reduce the amount of the garnishment based upon extreme financial hardship.
