(a) If you have received a decision on an objection to garnishment you may file a request for reconsideration of that decision.

(c) We consider your request for reconsideration if we determine that—

(2)(i) You submitted with the request evidence that you did not previously submit;  and

(ii) This evidence demonstrates that we should reconsider your objection to the existence, amount, or enforceability of the debt.
