Each judgment is separate from one another. Each creditor independently must file a writ of garnishment with the court on the debt and judgment specific to them
therefore you will have to go to court on each separate occurrence because unfortunately they are not connected in anyway other than you being a party to each one
you can attempt to have them scheduled on the same day by calling the court if you have notification of numerous dates and ask to adjourn all to one day but short of that you will have to show up for each one.
