Garnishment is legal for a creditor after the court grants a judgment against you. The creditor must go to court and establish that a debt is owed. If they establish that a debt is owed, the creditor gets a judgment against you as the debtor. And then, the court issues a summons.
Garnishee Process ? A process where the enforcement creditor obtains authority pursuant to the Civil Enforcement Act to have a third party (e.g. an employer or bank) pay monies into court to pay off the debt of an enforcement debtor. Indemnity ? Security or guaranteed compensation for damage or loss.
Once the Summons has been received, the garnishee has 15 days to serve a copy of the Summons upon the debtor, either personally or by mail. The garnishee must also, within 15 days, deliver a response to the court clerk along with the funds or a statement denying that the garnishee has any obligation to the debtor.
In Alberta, the first $800 of your monthly salary is exempt from garnishment. Creditors can take up to 50% of amounts between $800 and $2400, and 100% of amounts above $2400. There is no maximum garnishment amount ? but the process will, of course, end when the debt is repaid.
The Garnishee Summons is addressed to the Garnishee (person or business owing money to the debtor) and directs that the money be paid into court rather than to the debtor. A Garnishee Summons is in effect for two years from the date of issuance in all instances except where a bank account is garnisheed.
