Re: Garnishment Summons

A Virginia garnishment summons is designed to attached wages of an individual employee of an employer which is why the form askes that a SS# be listed on the summons; it is not intended to attach assets of a business entitly such as a company to pay a debt which the company may owe.

The remedy for which you may be looking to attach the debtor company's assets to pay this judgment is a levy against one or more of its operating business bank accounts.
