Bank Account Garnishment Ontario — Seize Debtor Funds
Bank account garnishment allows judgment creditors to seize funds directly from a debtor's bank account to satisfy an outstanding court judgment or LTB order. Our licensed paralegals serve garnishment notices on financial institutions across Ontario.
How Bank Garnishment Works
A garnishment notice is served on the debtor's bank or financial institution. The bank must respond within a set period and pay any non-exempt funds held in the debtor's account to the court, which then forwards the funds to the creditor.
Identifying Debtor Bank Accounts
If you do not know which bank holds the debtor's accounts, a debtor examination can compel the debtor to disclose their financial institution. We combine debtor examinations with bank garnishment for effective recovery.
