wage garnishment

I live and work in Kentucky, where I have an old school loan debt that I pay on sporadically, depending upon my financial situation. The school, through its attorney, is attempting garnishment of my wages. Their attorney and I agreed upon a payment plan in 1999. At that time, I had a full-time job and a part-time job. I continued to pay on time several months even though I lost the full-time employment in 01/00. I continued to make payments from the part-time job, but my employer is no longer able to pay me. In the Fall 2000 I left a voice message with the attorney requesting a change in the payment plan because my new full-time job, begun in August, pays less than my job of the original agreement. 3 months later, I received notice of the garnishment. What can I do to forestall this action, and obtain a payment plan that is consistent with my present financial situation?

My response:

Why did you ignore the lawsuit when you were sued ?

I did not ignore the lawsuit when I was first sued: that iswhere the original agreement for payment originated. But my financial situation has changed, nor did they respond to my request to revisit the payment issue.
