Garnishment doesn't affect or limit filing rights.? Perhaps you should have filed before the garnishment because any pay that is taken before the filing will not be returned to you.

You should meet with an experienced bankruptcy attorney and find out what kind of bankruptcy (if any) you qualify for and what steps you need to take to get the case filed. As soon as the case is filed and the garnishing creditor gets notice of the filing, the garnishment will stop.

Your question is too general, too broad and too immediate to be answered here.

Once your bankruptcy case goes on file, your lawyer will handle the part about forcing the creditors to remove the wage garnishments.
