How do you freeze someone's bank accounts?

The person seeking the recovery of money owed must file a lawsuit in the proper court of venue. If they win they will be awarded a writ of judgment which in most states can be used to garnish the debtor/defendant's bank account. Be advised that in many states a judgment cannot be enforced against marital and/or joint accounts. If the winning plaintiff tries to execute the judgment against any exempt property owned only by the debtor or jointly owned he/she may end up on the "wrong side" of a lawsuit.


Can a payday loan company file a judgment against you?

In general, any lender can file suit, be granted a judgment, and have the judgment enforced. So the short answer is yes. Some also claim they can file criminal charges for a "bad check(s)." This is not true. The actions that can be taken depend on the laws of the state in which the person resides.

In Missouri can a credit card company freeze your bank account for unsecured debt that is not paid?

Yes, if the creditor sues the debtor and wins a judgment, the judgment can be enforced as a bank account levy. Unsecured debt simply indicates that there is no specific property attached to the debt, it does not mean that a creditor cannot use a judgment to seize any non exempted property belonging to the judgment debtor. In some states including Missouri, joint marital bank accounts (unless otherwise stated), are considered to be held as Tenancy By The Entirety. This means that a joint marital TBE account cannot be levied when only one spouse is the named as the judgment debtor.

Can a collection agency in Canada garnish wages in Florida?

Not arbitrarily, the creditor would need to retain a US attorney/collection law firm to proceed with a civil suit against the debtor. Or win a judgment in a Canadian court and then try to have it recorded as a valid judgment in order to attach any income or property belonging to the debtor. If the debtor is a Canadian citizen, a judgment granted in Canada could be executed against any property in Canada that is owned by the debtor even if that person is physically outside of the court's jurisdiction.


If a judgment was already on you Can someone raise the amount of the judgment and go after you?

A judgment collects interest for as long as it remains unsatisfied (paid). Likewise a judgment can be executed at any time before it expires against any non protected property belonging to the debtor. Most states allow judgments to be valid for 10-20 years and many are renewable, meaning they can last indefinitely.

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.
