Stopping payments will likely affect your credit rating.
The answer to this question is going to depend heavily on WHEN you filed your chapter 7. I would make a phone call to the attorney who filed on your behalf. He should be able to answer this question in about 2 minutes.
If you are filing pro se, I highly recommend you retain an attorney. The documentation for file a chapter 7 is VERY complicated. You will save yourself some stress and time if you can find a reasonably priced attorney.
If I were you, I would DEFINITELY talk to your attorney immediately about the garnishments. It is my understanding that you can not be garnished while still in a chapter 13 repayment plan. The garnishment may be a violation of the automatic stay, a wrongful levy, a violation of the FDCPA, and a conversion (tort law).

Your bankruptcy attorney will need to see these. Having said that, if you filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy then a mortgage company can still foreclose on you after the 90 day automatic stay period has ended. If, on the other hand, you filed a chapter 13 repayment plan, and are still making payment under the plan, your...
No one can really give you good advise without knowing in detail your finances. Gather together all your bills, your income for the last 6 months and your monthly expenses. Your bankruptcy attorney will need to see these. Having said that you should have to wait 8 years from the last FILING DATE of your previous bankruptcy. The old time period prior to 2005 was 7 years before you could file again, but that was expanded to 8 years after the Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act of 2005...
