A bank account can be garnished by one creditor at a time. Levies on bank accounts remain until the debt is paid in full.

They can put a "freeze" on your bank acct everyday if they want. I found this out. Keep your money out of the bank. Im going bankrupt and my lawyer said to let the bank fees go into your bankruptcy

No. A judgment creditor can only levy one bank account for the time period designated by the judgment levy (generally 30 days). The creditor cannot recover monies from more than one account at a time. A bank levy by a judgment creditor is good for one time only and then has to refiled before it can be executed again against any account belonging to the judgment debtor(s).

Probably ... at least up to the point where the combined garnishments are equal or less than 49% of your earnings.

Wage garnishments for debt must run consecutively they cannot run concurrently. Please note, child support, spousal maintenance and tax arrearage garnishments can be active while one (1) wage garnishment for debt is being enforced.

Once a collection agency has gone through the procedure to garnish your bank account, they can do so as many times as necessary until the debt is paid.

Yes. If it doesn't leave you enough to live on you may have to go to court and plead your case to have one of the garnishments removed.

Can your wages be garnished if you are paying less than the minimum required amount monthly on medical bills?

It is possible. When a contract is defaulted the lender/creditor may use whatever method is available under the laws of the debtor's state to recover monies owed. Consumer's sometimes believe that if they pay any amount oon the debt and the creditor accepts the payment, other action cannot be taken, this simply is not true. It might be prudent for the debtor to contact the creditor and try to negotiate more affordable repayment terms.
