If it is a valid judgment garnishment there isn't an alternative unless the garenishment amount constitutes a hardship on the garnishee and/or their dependents. If such is the case a petition and supporting documents can be filed in the court where the garnishment order was issued to request that the amount be reduced.

In the state of Tennessee if you have judgment from the courts and they ask a company for an employee to has his checks garnish and the company refuses to answer or garnish wages what are your rights?

In the state of Tennessee, if a court has issued a judgment for wage garnishment and a company refuses to comply, the individual seeking garnishment may file a Motion for Contempt with the court. This motion informs the court of the company's non-compliance and requests that the court take action against the company. The court may then issue a show cause order requiring the company to appear and explain why they have not complied with the garnishment order. Failure to comply with a court-ordered wage garnishment can result in penalties for the non-compliant company.

They can if they take you to court for non-payment ! The debt is yours - therefore the court can order part of your wages to be paid directly to the card company until your debt is paid off ! If that happens, there's nothing you can do to stop it - apart from quitting your job ! (Which would be stupid !)
