    Garishments Washington

    We were garnished today,:mad: and we had no idea that it was coming, so sure we deal with at work around it but how do I find out who the garnishment is from? Like I said before we had no idea about it, and don't who the money is going to nor the debt amout?

    What was garnished?
    If a paycheck was garnished, then your employer can tell you exactly who it was (and in fact it should be shown on the stub)

    If a bank account was garnished then the bank can tell you who garnished it.

    I am surprised that you had no idea this was coming. The creditor had to go to court to obtain a judgement that was served on your job or the holder of the asset that was seized. Before getting a judgement some attempt to contain you had to have been made.

    Most employers will notify you when a wage garnishment order was received with the details. However, banks may not notify you before turing over assets as a result of a garnishment. But they should tell you the details upon request.
