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.


Does pa law allow checking account garnishment?

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
