Tennessee Attachment is a legal process used in Tennessee which allows a creditor to attach a debtor’s property without first obtaining a judgment. This process is commonly used in debt collection cases, as it provides a quicker means of collecting payment from a debtor. There are two types of Tennessee Attachment: 1. Garnishment: An order issued by the court to a debtor’s employer requiring them to withhold a certain amount of the debtor’s wages each pay period and send it directly to the creditor. 2. Levy: An order issued by the court which allows the creditor to seize the debtor’s property and sell it at a public auction in order to satisfy the debt.
