Your Social Security number doesn't get "garnished." Your wages get garnished and other accounts are subject to "levy," such as your bank account, etc.
It's obvious that you're trying to either (1) not be responsible for creating a debt, or (2) trying, somehow, to get out of a debt that you've already established.
You had to provide your S.S. number in order to get credit granted to you in the first place. The purposes for this are simple: to run your credit reports (as they are most easily determined through your S.S. number) to see if you'll actually pay back the credit based on your past history plus some other things, and (2) to track you should you skip out on the debt. "Skip Tracers" use your S.S. number to see if you've established accounts elsewhere that they might be able to levy and to see if you have a new job, as your employer is required to send compensation information to the governments for tax purposes.

So, to answer your question: NO, you can't.
