The principal must pay to secure the surety bond, follow the mandates of the surety bond, and settle any claims filed against the surety bond. <\/p>\n<p>Obligee - This is the bond beneficiary, or the debtor\/defendant in the civil case. If a judge rules in favor of the obligee, that person may file a claim seeking restitution and damages. <\/p>\n<p>Surety - This is the company that issues the garnishment bond. As part of the surety bond agreement, the surety steps in to settle claims when the principal cannot or will not settle them. However, that doesn\u2019t cancel the principal\u2019s debt - it simply means they have to pay the surety instead of the obligee.

Courts are also aware that garnishments create financial difficulties for whoever they\u2019re placed on, so they work hard to deny any unjustified garnishment from the start.
