1Opinion of the Court
SHEPHERD, Circuit Judge.
After filing for bankruptcy, Brandon and Nicole Pierce (the “Pierces”) sought to avoid and recover funds Collection Associates, Inc. (“Collection Associates”) had garnished from Brandon’s wages during the pre-petition preference period. The bankruptcy court1 found the Pierces’ preference action barred by the defense for consumer debtor payments under $600. The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) affirmed. We agree that the defense applies because the Pierces sought to avoid the transfer of less than $600, and therefore affirm.
