A creditor can file a lawsuit, and if they win, obtain a writ of judgment. That writ can be executed in the form of wage garnishment. Garnishment is one way a creditor can collect money owed from a debtor. Through garnishment a third partycan be ordered to pay money over that is otherwise owed to the debtor.
The most common example is wage garnishment whereby an employer can be served with an order to pay a portion of a defendant's wages directly to a creditor. Garnishment is regulated by statute and laws vary in different jurisdictions. It is commonly used for such debts as child support, defaulted student loans, traffic fines, delinquent taxes, etc. Other methods of collection include liens and attachments.
Some states, are very liberal in the amount that can be garnished. Others do not allow wage garnishment except in specific circumstances such as child support.
