Description

Notice and Motion to Attach Wages

Rhode Island Notice and Motion to Attach Wages is a legal process used by creditors to recover a debt from a debtor. This process is used by creditors when a debtor has failed to make payments on a debt. In Rhode Island, creditors must serve a Notice and Motion to Attach Wages to the debtor that outlines the debt and provides a period for the debtor to pay the debt before the creditor takes further action. If the debt is not paid, the creditor can take the debtor to court to seek a wage garnishment order, which will directly deduct money from the debtor's wages to satisfy the debt. There are two types of Rhode Island Notice and Motion to Attach Wages. The first is the standard Notice and Motion, which is served to the debtor and outlines the debt and the period for repayment. The second is the Motion for Order of Attachment, which is filed with the court to request a wage garnishment order from the court if the debtor fails to repay the debt.
