Debtor-creditor law governs situations where one party is unable to pay a monetary debt to another. There are three types of creditors: (i) those who acquire a lien through statute; (ii) agreement between the parties; (iii) or judicial proceedings against a particular piece of property.

Creditors use judicial and statutory processes to have debts satisfied. Attachment is a limited statutory remedy whereby a creditor has the property of a debtor seized to satisfy a debt. Garnishment allows a creditor to collect part of a debt (for example wages) to satisfy the obligation. Replevin allows a creditor to seize goods, such as a security interest, that he or she has a property interest in, to satisfy the debt. Receivership involves the appointing of a third party by a court to dispose of the debtor's property in order to satisfy the debt.
