A Florida Writ of Garnishment is a legal procedure used to seize assets from an individual or entity that owes a debt to a creditor. This writ is typically issued by a court after a creditor has successfully sued a debtor for an unpaid debt. The writ is typically served on the debtor's employer, bank, or other financial institution in order to collect the money owed. There are three types of Florida Writ of Garnishment: wage garnishment, bank garnishment, and other garnishment. Wage garnishment is when a creditor takes a portion of an individual’s wages in order to pay off the debt owed. Bank garnishment is when a creditor takes funds from a debtor’s bank account to pay off the debt. Other garnishment is when a creditor takes assets, such as property or investments, to satisfy the debt.
