Yes.
Not directly. However, in many states, if the landlord obtains a judgment (and a judgment is always necessary for any form a garnishment), the landlord may garnish your bank account. There are several states (NC, SC, Penn., and Texas) which do not allow garnishment for creditor debts.
Yes, that is the way a garnishment works. When the credit card company sues you for non-payment of debt, they win a judgment. The judgment can be a garnish on your paycheck or your bank account. It makes no difference who you have a bank account with if they were awarded the garnishment by court.
Yes. Texas does not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt but it does allow bank account levy even if the account is jointly held.
If a court or the government required garnishment of wages, then it would not matter what bank the account was in.
after filing a motion of denying the judgement on garnished bank account: how long will it take to release bank garnishment
Your bank account is generally frozen only one time when the judgment for a garnishment is set to begin. This allows the courts the time to release the judgment and decide on the amount that you will have to pay.
yes, i creditor can garnish a bank account to $0 regardless of where the funds in the account came from
You can have a bank account frozen by going to an attorney or before a court of law and receiving a garnishment or judgment. If you receive a judgment, it is not enough, you have to have an order to freeze a bank account.
You get fined a fee by the bank, your account is frozen, and they will probably come after your paycheck through garnishment (even if the levy is removed) Levy is a step, garnishment follows.
Yes. A garnishment is usually served upon a 3rd party holding assets of a debtor. So if a garnishment is served on a bank where the debtor has an account the bank will have to answer how much are in those accounts and a turn over order can be issued so that the creditor may collect his judgment.
Yes, it does. A garnishment can occur only where the creditor has obtained a judgment against you in a court of law. After the judgment is entered, the creditor can garnish your bank account if it knows where you bank. There are some exceptions to this, in that bank account that is jointly owned by husband and wife cannot be garnished, unless the judgment is against both spouses. The second exception is where the funds in the account are traceable to Social Security benefits. For more answers to similar questions on PA laws, please visit my website at www.gregartim.com
