Can a judgment creditor enforce a wage garnishment directly and at the same time by levying a direct wage deposit in a bank account in Michigan?
Generally yes. They are not double-dipping. They have a judgment against you and are allowed to take money from your bank account. PLus, they have a wage garnishment order against you and can deduct from your pay check. They can continue taking from both SEPARATE places until the judgment is satisfied in full. You may be able to stop your direct deposit and change banks to stop account deduction for a while. Don't recommend quitting your job though to avoid the garnishment. Assess your total debt load; you may want to file bankruptcy. * No. A garnishment can only affect wages either through direct withholding by the employer or by levying a bank account in which the wages are automatically deposited. If this is being done you should contact your employer and the court where the garnishment judgment was issued. Likewise, garnishments must run consecutively not concurrently, meaning only one wage garnishment at a time from one creditor. The exception is, that the withholding of child support or spousal maintenance from wages is not considered a true garnishment. Therefore a creditor garnishment and a garnishment for child support or alimony could occur simultaneously.
