Overview of bank levy vs. wage garnishment

Creditors use legal means to confiscate valuable assets or revenue streams in order to pay off existing debts, such as bank levies or wage garnishments. The main distinction is that bank levies affect financial accounts whereas wage garnishments affect wages. To initiate a bank levy or wage garnishment against an account, a creditor must first get a court order.’

What happens after the court order

If a creditor gets a bank levy against a financial account, the account will be frozen, and the creditor will withdraw funds to settle the debt owing. If more deposits are made during this time and there is still a balance owing, the creditor will continue to deduct money from the account until the obligation is paid in full. The bank levy will be withdrawn after the debt is paid in full.

Wage garnishments

If a creditor gets a wage garnishment, the employer will deduct a part of the employee’s compensation from each paycheck. The money will be delivered to the creditor, who will use it to pay off the obligation. The wage garnishment will be removed after the debt is paid in full, much as bank levies.

Bank levies

Bank levies are commonly used by government organizations, such as the IRS, to confiscate banking accounts in order to pay for obligations such as past due student loans. Wage garnishments are used by private creditors, such as credit card firms, to collect debts. Wage garnishments are frequently utilized in family court cases to satisfy spousal or child support obligations.
