Can more than one creditor issue a bank garnishment and payroll garnishment at one time?

Not by creditors. The exception to multiple wage garnishments are, child support, federal or state tax arrearages and in rare cases spousal maintenance. Therefore a creditor could garnish wages at the same time of garnishment by the aforementioned.

∙ 12y agoNo. Creditor garnishments must run consecutively (one at a time). The maximum garnishment amount in most instances is 25% of the debtor's disposable income.
Please note: Child support, tax arrearages and in some states spousal maintenance garnishments can be active at the same time a creditor garnishment is in force.

While there are certain limits that may mean no more garnishment can be taken...the actions of one creditor don't really effect the actions of another.
Garnishments or bank levies by a single judgment creditor must run consecutively not concurrently. However, a single judgment creditor can execute a wage garnishment while a different judgment creditor levies a bank account belonging to the named debtor(s).
Child support and tax arrearage garnisments can run concurrently with a judgment creditor garnishment.

A judgment creditor could not enforce a wage garnishment against co-debtor spouses simultaneously. Wage garnishment must run consecutively no concurrently.
Likewise a judgment creditor could not execute a wage garnishment against dual income of the judgment debtor(s). For example, if the debtor worked two part time jobs the garnishment could only be enforced as a singular judgment against one of the earnings.

∙ 9y agoYes one creditor can garnish wage from 2 separate jobs. The wage garnishment will last for as long as a debt is owed to the creditor.

If you go on disability can you still be garnished by a sheriff or creditor even though the garnishment has already started?
Garnishment orders apply to wages or in some cases bank accounts. Sheriff's do not garnish wages they just serve the garnishment order. If you are not being paid by an employer there are no wages to be garnished. Disability benefits are exempt from creditor garnishment. They are not exempt from garnishment for tax arrearages or child support.
Can two debt collectors take 25 percent of your income at the same time?

Why would a creditor garnish a bank where I don't have an account?
This begs curiosity as to why you would be aware that the creditor attempted to garnish an account where you have no accounts. Prior to serving garnishment of an account, the creditor will need to know that you do have an account or accounts at the bank. This is typically verified by the legal department or a skip tracer. If no account exists, or if there are no funds available to attach, the creditor will be notified, but there is no reason for a bank to notify you if no account exists. If you have no account at a bank, for all intents, you do not exist to the bank.
Can they garnish from his bank account?
Yes. A garnishment is usually served upon a 3rd party holding assets of a debtor. So if a garnishment is served on a bank where the debtor has an account the bank will have to answer how much are in those accounts and a turn over order can be issued so that the creditor may collect his judgment.
Can a person's wages or bank account be garnished for credit card debt in Texas?
The creditor would need to obtain a lawsuit judgment from the Texas court before wage garnishment would be allowed. Texas only allows garnishment of wages when there are no other means for a judgment creditor to collect a debt owed. If a judgment has already been entered against the debtor in a different state, the judgment creditor can place a "foreign" judgment lien against property owned by the debtor.
What happens if a judgment creditor places a levy on a bank account and the account balance is less than the judgment amount?

In Texas what percentage of income can a second garnishment take if the debtor already has an active garnishment for student loans?
If it pertains to a creditor, then the garnishment writ cannot be executed until the current garnishment has been satisfied, and only if the judgment creditor has no other means of collecting monies owed (bank account levy, real property lien, etc.) If it is a garnishment for child support that is not considered a "true garnishment" and it takes priority NS the percentage is determined by the presiding judge according to established guidelines (maximum 50% disposable income).
