Unless you voluntarily agreed to a garnishment clause in whatever payment contract you signed, garnishment can only be done by means of court action (unless we're talking about the IRS here). In the case of court ordered garnishment you can file an appeal to the garnishment order with the court which issued it.
The only way to dispute a writ of garnishment is to go to court. You will need to hire an attorney to dispute the garnishment.
The procedure would be to file a motion in the court where the garnishment was ordered to request the writ of garnishment be vacated or amended.
A traverse is a form of dispute against a garnishment. The traverse is filed in the local court, requesting a judge to review the garnishment in question for dismissal.
