If it TRULY IS an accidental garnishment, for instance awarded to a private or commercial creditor, you may petition the court to have the award of the lien reversed. However, disability income is NOT exempt from ALL creditors. If the lien was granted due to back taxes owed to the government, child support, etc., it was probably ganted properly. Check with the court which granted it for further information or to look into it.
