The purpose of limiting how much of a person's wages can be garnished is to ensure that people have enough money to survive. If the creditor were able to take 100% of your wages from your bank this would enable the creditor to circumvent the limit on wage garnishments at their source. At first glance this would seem patently unfair.
In the meantime, if you can avoid having your wages directly deposited into your bank account you should do so. Often, opening up an account at another branch will at least buy you some temporary relief.
