Talk:Garnishment

message: In the UK, this is known as Attachment of earnings. The term Garnishment is not used.
:Actually, no.  The garnishee order _is_ known to the UK legal system, but it can't be used in the same way that it's used in the States, because a salary (in the UK) isn't a _debt_ owed by the employer to the employee (unless it's not paid on time).  The UK Attachment of Earnings order has the same _effect_, but it's a different legal entity.  I would Oppose the proposed merger.  (Incidentally, following the Woolf reforms, garnishee orders are now referred to in the UK legal system as "Third-party debt orders", but they're still not Attachment of Earnings orders).

thread_title: UK - Garnishment is Attachment of Earnings.

message: Some civil law systems use similar arrangements, particularly for the enforcement of judgments in commercial claims, as well as in interlocutory proceedings. Although such procedures can be literally translated as "third party seizures", the term garnishment, garnishee and judgment debtor allow for more legible and comprehensible translations. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 15:57, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

message: This article seems to focus on the United States, but, probably there are other countries where garnishment happens.  Hence, I added the Globalize template.  --Slartibartfast 06:02, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I was redirected to this page from my search, "wage assignment," but that doesn't tell me definitively whether or not they're exactly the same thing. Does anyone know if they are? -Dan 02:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  2 garnishment at the same time 

message: The references 'How to Stop Wage Garnishment' http://www.centsableaccounting.com/resources/articles/stopgarnishments.asp and 'Avoid Wage Garnishment' http://bankruptcy-law.freeadvice.com/collections/wage-garnishments.htm have been removed and I think they should be reinstated.
The sentences "Wage garnishments continue until the entire debt is paid or arrangements are made to pay off the debt." (3rd sentence in the Wage garnishment paragraph) and " Employers receive a notice telling them to withhold a certain amount of their employee's wages for payment and cannot refuse to garnish wages." (last sentence in the paragraph after the bullet points) are both referenced from 'How to Stop Wage Garnishment'.
The sentence "Wage garnishment can negatively affect credit, reputation, and the ability to receive a loan or open a bank account." (3rd paragraph in Wage garnishment section) is referenced from 'Avoid Wage Garnishment'.
These sentences add valuable information (they are still there) but their references are not. It looks like the references were just added but they were not. The information was added first; then their corresponding references were added.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ephra8 (talk • contribs) 14:34, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Since Free Advice doesn't qualify as a reliable source I left the third link intact but reverted the first two links because information was referenced from there.

message: Currently in UK law, ‘garnishee order’ refers to the process that occurs when party B owes money to party A, party C in turn owes money to party B and party B has been found in breach of contract with party A. A court can then order that monies are paid directly from party C to party A to recover party AB’s debt to party A. In other words, B’s debt to A is paid by B’s receivables not B itself. The term ‘garnishee order’ used to have a wider meaning in UK law but now this is its only remaining meaning. I’ve been learning about this for my AAT accountancy course.
