Takes wages legally

Garnishees is the plural of garnishee—a person or institution (typically a bank or employer) served with a legal order to withhold money owed to a debtor.

When creditors pursue unpaid debts, they garnishee wages or accounts; the garnishees then redirect those funds to satisfy the debt: The court ordered the garnishees to remit payments directly to the plaintiff.
