Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Re: garnishment - REPLY TO HELP MY WAGES HAVE BEEN GARNISHED!

This question, and variations of it, are posted a lot. Please note the following:

A creditor with a judgment can both garnish the judgment debtor's wages and levy a writ of execution against the judgment debtor's bank account (or just restrain the account pursuant to a restraining notice).

Please see the prior postings on our Blog (newyorkbankruptcylaywerblog.com) on the topic of dealing with a default judgment. The posts are:

Re: garnishment

If a judgment creditor is taking money from your paycheck although there is no judgment againt you, that is obviously improper and you would have a cause of action against the judgment creditor and the attorney for the return of the money together with interest.
