Utmätning av lön är det mest vanliga av de tvångsmedel som kronofogdemyndigheten använder sig av. Vid löneutmätning ålägger kronofogdemyndigheten gäldenärens arbetsgivare att hålla inne en viss del av den gäldenärens lön och tillställa kronofogdemyndigheten beloppet, varefter kronofogdemyndigheten redovisar beloppet till borgenären. - Inkassohandboken
