Phoenix, AZ asked in Bankruptcy, Civil Litigation and Collections for Arizona

Q: Can you file a writ of garnishment against a debtors Zelle, Venmo or Cashapp? Is the process different than thru a bank?

The defendant/ debtor has avoided bank garnishments so far but I have been notified that they have a Zelle, Venmo and Cashapp. Can I finally garnished their account via this method or are there any issues involving this?

A: Yes. You can use the same forms as you would for a bank but send the form to their central accounting centers, the addresses of which you should easily find online.
