Your easiest remedy would be to sue former employer in Small Claims for the $2000.00. Employer will probably contact their attorney who will advise employer to send you the money.

If a creditor is garnishing your wages, it is likely that the creditor obtained a court judgment against you. If the debt involved was discharged in your Chapter 7, you should see a bankruptcy litigation attorney. Not only can you get your money back, you can have the creditor pay you and your attorney for the damages that have resulted from this misconduct.

Make a motion to dissolve the garnishment and release the funds.
