What does garnishment mean on a bank statement?

When you owe money and do not pay, you risk having any money in an account at a bank or credit union automatically withdrawn to pay your debt. This is called bank account garnishment or bank account levy. Creditors trying to collect commercial debt must go to court to get an order of bank account garnishment.

What is a garnishee payment?

Garnishment is a way to get the debtors money, like wages or money in the bank, paid to you. For example, if you know that the debtor is employed, you might garnish their salary. This means that money from the judgment debtors paycheque goes into court, and then to you.

What is a garnishee order in simple terms?

A garnishee order is made against third parties that owe money to the debtor, or who hold money on the debtors behalf (such as banks, employers and customers). Garnishees are required to make payments to the judgement creditor (as a lump sum or instalments) until the judgement debt is fully paid.

What money cannot be garnished?

There are no federal limits to the amount that can be taken in account garnishment. Your state may have laws that are more protective. Some sources of income are considered protected in account garnishment, including: Social Security, and other government benefits or payments.

Can you ignore a garnishee order?

The consequences for ignoring a garnishment can be extreme. In the majority of states, an offending garnishee (i.e., an employer) is liable for up to the full amount of the debtors (whether this person turns out to be an employee or not) outstanding debt.

What is an example of a garnishee order?

Another example is where a creditor issues a garnishee order to an employer and a weekly amount is garnished from the debtors salary every week and paid to the creditor until the debt is paid off. These examples of enforcement are useful where the debtor has money, but they are just not handing it over.

What does the term garnishee mean?

A garnishee is a third party that holds money or property that belongs to a debtor subject to an attachment proceeding by a creditor.
