Within 10 days after receiving a payment under a writ of garnishment, a garnishor or creditor must return to the debtor any amount that exceeds the amount owing on the debt. If payment was made by check, the garnishor or creditor is not required to return the payment until 10 days after the check has cleared. [2001 c.249 §44; 2003 c.85 §16]
