I work at a bank in NYS. We are unsure when we can take our fee for processing restraining notices. We currently take our fee only if there is enough to cover the amount of the restraint. I have recently heard that we could take our fee first and then send the difference on a demand for payment but I am unable to find any information on this subject. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
