Do I have any legal rights to place a stop on wage garnishment in Ohio? I have a hearing to attend tomorrow, to face my creditor, and explain to them why I can't afford the amount the law allows to be automatically deducted from my pay check. They already have a judgement for the garnishment, as I never received a letter for a court date, that is because I am recently seperated at a different residence. When I learned of the garnishment, it was from my employer, so I asked the court to grant me a hearing to represent myself, which is tomorrow.I am hardly making it on the bare essentials.
