642. A creditor who has been notified by registered or certified mail of the seizure by garnishment of the salary or wages of his debtor cannot, so long as it remains binding, himself seize such salary or wages.
Neither can he execute his judgment on the movable property which furnishes the main residence of his debtor, and is used by and is necessary for the life of the household, except for sums owing on the price or in the exercise of a right of revendication.
