If there is a judgment against you, your employer has no choice. Do you owe the bill? Have you not paid it?

To obtain a wage garnishment, the creditor has to obtain a judgment. Once they have a judgment they can obtain a garnishment order. Your employer is legally bound to honor such a court order.
For it to get this far, you had to have ignored many requests for payment. Why haven't you tried to settle before it got this far?

I have no no court order or civil order against me by the courts. The ambulace collection company went to SC levy wages and turned in ambulance bills that dated back to 2001 - 2009, at address I have never lived at, and because they went through the SC wage and labor, my employer just started deducting my pay on that reason

There is no garnishment order or judgement.

Your employer has to have been served with a court order to garnish your wages.
They must have gotten a judgement without your knowledge, you will have to go back to with the judgement over turned because of no service.
On the other hand, if you really do owe it, why not just pay it

Ask your employer for copies of the order of garnishment. It will provide list a court and docket number. You can use that info to find out what happened.
