Judgement Question?

Question

If you have a judgement against you, beside garnishing wages, can they take money out of your checking account?

Answer 1

not unless it is the IRS they can freeze the account

Answer 2

No, they can only garnish wages.

Answer 3

They can put a lein on your account and seize any funds to pay off the judgment.  They can also file a lein on other property of high value to get the judgment paid.

Answer 4

Yes they can, they can also file liens on any property you may own like cars, boats, land and homes.

Answer 5

I've known some who have had the bank accounts frozen, but this is usually after a court granted the request to do it.

Answer 6

If it's an asset, it can be attached.  In cases of people having money in their checking account, the worst I believe a collection agency or lawfirm could do would be to freeze your account so that nothing can go in or come out of your account until you resolve the balance.   <")))><
