Can a collection agency check your available funds in your checking account and be able to draw out money without you signing a form at the bank allowing them to do this?

No, and please NEVER EVER! give a collection agency ANY personal financial information. Not your place of employment, other creditors, and most importantly NEVER NEVER bank account, credit union, etc. information. DO NOT ALLOW them to make an automatic withdrawal, no matter what sort of intimidation tactics they try.

If the creditor/plaintiff wins the suit a judgment will be entered against the debtor/defendant. The judgment can then be executed against non-exempt property belonging to the debtor(s). Most states allow bank account levy of some sort. If a person believes they may be sued by a creditor they should obtain legal advice and if possible legal representation. The involved party might wish to contact the state bar association or the local legal aid society for an attorney referral.
