In the US, the answer is usually not. A wage garnishment by itself will never get you out of default. To get out of a Default status, you must either consolidate your Federal loans or enter into a Rehabilitation program. The rehab program involves 9-12 on time payments, but these payments are separate from garnished wages.
Consolidation is the easiest way out. Most lenders these days do not offer consolidation, but one company can help you get consolidated by a Federal lender, they are defaultms.com
If you are still in default on a federal student loan, no.
Most loans have consequences when you default like reporting negatively to the credit bureaus, garnishment of wages to repay the loan, ineligibility to get another student loan if needed; many late fees, and even a lawsuit to collect on the loan.
In the U.S., a garnished student loan happens when a borrower becomes Default on the outstanding loans which causes a collection company to garnish the wages of the borrower. Garnishment is when an employer deducts money from an employee's paycheck and sends it to a collection company. Garnishment of Federal Student Loans has a cap of 25%.One online company that helps default borrowers get a garnishment lifted is Default Management Services, Inc.

Yes, there is no statute of limitations on student loan default for Federally Guaranteed student loans. You need to get the loans out of a default status.There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans.Contact your collection company or student loan servicer and request to enter the rehabilitation program. Most people qualify, but I have seen some refused when the default is over 10 years old. In the rehabilitation program, you will need to make 9-12 on-time payments in addition to your garnishment. After the 9-12 on-time payments, they should stop the garnishment, but you will stay in a default status until your Rehabed loans are sold to a new lender. In the past, that was an easy process, but in these turbulent financial times, other lenders are not buying rehabed loans. So, with this option your loans will stay in a Default status for the forseeable future.The second way you can get out of default and have your garnishment lifted is to consolidate your loans. These days very few Federal lenders will consolidate defaulted loans and your lender will probably not release the loan for consolidation while in a garnishment stage. The good news is, there are a few companies out there that will help you get a garnishment lifted and find a Federal lender to consolidate the loans. One good example is Default Management Services, Inc. They are the cheapest I have seen and give a 100% money back guarantee on their services. You can Google the company name to get the phone #.
