C. If a judgment debtor's earnings become subject to more than one writ of garnishment pursuant to this article, and because of the application of the priorities set forth in subsections A and B a judgment creditor recovers no nonexempt earnings for two consecutive paydays, the lien on earnings of such judgment creditor is invalid and of no force and effect, and the garnishee shall notify the judgment creditor accordingly.
