Its almost impossible in Florida for a creditor to garnish your wages, as you have to agree to it.

Florida law does provide an exemption which is specific to wage garnishments. This exemption is not automatic and must be claimed by filing an affidavit with the Court when you are notified that the creditor intends to request a wage garnishment. If you properly claim the exemption, your wages cannot be garnished by a judgment creditor if you are head of the family and your wages are $750 per week or less. If you are a head of family and your wages exceed $750 per week, they can only be garnished by a judgment creditor if you have agreed in writing that the creditor can garnish your wages. To qualify as head of family, you must provide more than one half of the support for a child or other dependant.
