Absolutely .I used to locate assets for a large motor credit company for accounts that have already been sued and one of the consumers I was trying to locate assets on had been on America's Most Wanted during the time a judgment was being placed on him . basicly he was nowhere to be found and was still sued for the debt and i was trying to find any bank accounts this guy had. I would like give the name of the person or creditor, but I would be in some serious dog doodoo

Why would a creditor garnish a bank where I don't have an account?
This begs curiosity as to why you would be aware that the creditor attempted to garnish an account where you have no accounts. Prior to serving garnishment of an account, the creditor will need to know that you do have an account or accounts at the bank. This is typically verified by the legal department or a skip tracer. If no account exists, or if there are no funds available to attach, the creditor will be notified, but there is no reason for a bank to notify you if no account exists. If you have no account at a bank, for all intents, you do not exist to the bank.
