Explanation:
Thanks to Vedis for the answer - that set British bells ringing.

Howbeit, as micawber_7 appears to be 'based' = luxuriating or languishing in Calfornia - I have slight reservations about the England & Wales term of art of attachment of earnings, which I guess our distinguished Minnesota Attorneys will have no problem understanding.

cf. in BrE a 'garnishee order' of a *bank a/c* - or balance thereon - has been known since 199 as a 'third-party debt order' (TPDO).
