Is Ohio non wage garnishment ongoing or one time only?

Answer 1

In Ohio a NON-wage garnishment is good for one shot. Of course, a creditor could file again (and again...). Filing a nonwage garn isn't done often since there are court fees and other costs to take into consideration, but I've seen it done more than once.

A non-wage garnishment is used to attach monies earned by someone who isn't paid personal wages, like an independent contractor, or someone who works on commission. It is also used to attach bank accounts.

Hope this helps,

I have had several KY non-wage garnishments filed against me in the past few months. Basically the judgment creditor's attorney has to file a new non-wage garnishment every time they want to raid your checking or savings accounts. The courts get a lot of these and they (local county District Court) told me they usually just rubber-stamp approve them all due to volume received. They send it out certified mail to your bank, who has to freeze all the assets in your account as of the business day they get the court order. This has happened to me once a month for the past 3 months. I usually find out about it when my debit card declines, then about a week later I get my copy of the non-wage garnishment state of Kentucky form in the mail from the bank's headquarters office.
