Wage garnishment is the most common type of garnishment. In Arizona, the wage garnishment process usually starts when a creditor files a writ of garnishment of earnings, therefore, initiating a civil lawsuit against a debtor, who has defaulted on payments. If the judge rules for the creditor, the Court grants a money judgment in favor of the creditor and against the person owing the money. The judge issues a court order to the creditor. If the debtor does not pay, then the creditor can use the money judgment to file for a wage garnishment. The creditor serves the wage garnishment documentation on the debtor’s employer, and it requires the employer to withhold (garnish) a specified amount from the debtor’s paycheck each pay period. If your employer has been served with this court order, they cannot refuse to garnish your wages without severe repercussions. The court order requires your employer to send the funds to the person or organization that you owe money until the debt is paid off unless other payment arrangements are made with the Court or creditor.

Bankruptcy, a legal process, provides individuals, couples, and businesses with a fresh financial start by temporarily or permanently preventing creditors from collecting on certain types of debts. It helps people who can no longer pay bills. When the legal procedure for bankruptcy is complete, it provides a discharge, a court order, that confirms to creditors that individuals, couples, or businesses, who are granted the discharge, do not have to repay certain types of debts. When the discharge is permanent for the full amount of debt owed a creditor, it disallows that creditor from trying to collect on that debt.
