An individual who holds money or property that belongs to a debtor subject to an attachment proceeding by a creditor. For example, when an individual owes money but has for a source of income only a salary, a creditor might initiate Garnishment proceedings.
If it's already started, you can try to challenge the judgment or negotiate with the creditor. But, they're in the driver's seat, and if they don't allow you to stop a garnishment by agreeing to make voluntary payments, you can't really force them to. You can, however, stop the garnishment by filing a bankruptcy case.
