Wage garnishments cannot run concurrently, each garnishment judgment must be satisfied before another can be enforced. Creditors however have other options for executing judgments, therefore if a wage garnishment order is active, a different creditor holding a judgment can use it for bank account levy, seizure and sale of non-exempt property and liens against real property belonging to the debtor(s). Texas, Pennsylvania, N.Carolina and S.Carolina do not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt. All wage garnishment for creditor debt only can be appealed by the debtor if he or she so chooses by using a "hardship" defense.

However, a judgment creditor can garnish a bank account or income at the same time a child support, tax arrearage and in some states spousal maintenance garnishment is active.
