Enforcement of a Debt
If you have obtained a judgment from the Local Court and the amount of the debt has not been paid you may have rights to enforce the payment of the debt through the Local Court Registry.
There are three types of court enforcement action which may assist you in forcing the debtor to pay the judgment debt:
1. Writs of Execution - this is where the Sheriff\'s Officer can be directed to attend the judgment debtor\'s address and seize property owned by the debtor and sell it at a public auction if the debt is unpaid.
2. GARNISHEE ORDERS - a garnishee order may be given to an EMPLOYER, bank manager or some other person who is holding money on behalf of the debtor and directing them to pay the money held into court for payment of the debt.
3. Examination Summonses - this is a summons which requires the debtor to attend court to be examined in relation to his financial circumstances. The debtor may be required to produce details of his or her employer or bank accounts.

salary assignment


Explanation:
Het is duidelijk een Vlaams begrip en heeft te maken met het "onvrijwillig" afstand doen van je salaris onder een curator. Zie ook onderstaande koppeling. Jurlex (A. v/d Ent) vertaalt "overdracht door cessie" met "assignment"

attachment of earnings (order)


Explanation:
Not sure of this is what is meant. Have a look here: http://www.southglos.gov.uk/council_tax/attachmentearnings.h...

Basically, this is a court authorisation to a creditor to take a slice of your earnings before your employer pays you.
