There are two ways to stop wage garnishment in the US. The first is to enter into an agreement with your student loan collection agency to rehabilitate the loans over a 12 month period. The second and easier route is to consolidate your loans. If you need help with the consolidation of defaulted loans, click on the link at the bottom of this text box.
It's unlikely that you can. If the debt has proceeded to a garnishment then the loan company has a judgment for the debt and has not been able to collect it.
Now they are getting the money and are unlikely to stop the garnishment without another court order (that you would have to get from the court) to do so.
The last two statements are incorrect. A wage garnishment will be lifted by a collection agency if the loan is going to be consolidated by another Federal lender, because the defaulted loan will be paid off with the consolidation.

How can wage garnishment for a student loan be stopped?
AnswerGenerally once the judgment has been executed as a garnishment it will run until the debt is paid. In many states a creditor must return to court every 60 or 90 days to renew the garnishment order.The necessity for renewal does not apply to wage garnishment for federally funded student loans.I know of one company that can get a garnishment lifted and restructure a defaulted student loan with a low manageable payment, the company is www.defaultms.com
In Texas what percentage of income can a second garnishment take if the debtor already has an active garnishment for student loans?
If it pertains to a creditor, then the garnishment writ cannot be executed until the current garnishment has been satisfied, and only if the judgment creditor has no other means of collecting monies owed (bank account levy, real property lien, etc.) If it is a garnishment for child support that is not considered a "true garnishment" and it takes priority NS the percentage is determined by the presiding judge according to established guidelines (maximum 50% disposable income).

Would a state or federal garnishment be less as applied to a student loan in New York state?
The maximum federal garnishment is 25% the maximum NY state garnishment is 10% (this does not apply to child support or spousal maintenance). Therefore the state garnishment would be the lowest, but if the student loan(s) are federally subsidized the law may allow for the higher federal garnishment to be used depending upon the person's financial status. Such issues as being disabled, head of household, and so forth would be a factor in the percentage of garnishment allowed.
