Best Answer

A court order instructing a garnishee (a bank) that funds held on behalf of a debtor (the judgement debtor) should not be released until directed by the court. The order may also instruct the bank to pay a given sum to the judgement creditor (the person to whom a debt is owed by the judgement debtor) from these funds.

What is garnishee order in Banking Law?

A garnishee order in banking law is a legal process that allows a creditor to collect money owed to them by the debtor directly from the debtor's bank account. The bank is required to freeze the debtor's account and pay the amount owed to the creditor. This is often used as a last resort by creditors to recover debts when other collection methods have failed.

Do they have to leave you enough money to pay your bills when your wages are garnished?

Unfortunately a garnishment order does not consider the financial situation of the garnishee when executed. The state laws in which the garnishee resides determines the percentage of monies to be attached. Federal law protects the first $154.50 (weekly/40hr. based) of the garnishee's wages. Amounts above the aforementioned are subject to garnishment as allowed under the laws of the state where the garnishee works and/or resides.

Is there protection for debtor who pays garnishment but garnishee employer fails to pay creditor?

Possibly but it can be complicated. If the garnishee's employer ignored a court order to remove the amount from the garnishees salary and forward it to 'wherever', the employer could be charged with contempt of court for failing to iobey the court's order. On the other hand - if the garnishee KNEW (by the amount in his received paychecks) that the amount was not being taken out and failed to take action to correct it, they too, could be charged with the same contempt.
