Can a creditor seize your bank account if your income is not enough?

A creditor can not seize your account unless: 1) They are also your bank and you signed agreements allowing "right of offset" where the bank can take funds from your accounts to satisfy delinquent loans you have with them. 2) Your creditor obtained a court order allowing them to attach funds or place a levy on funds. Insufficient income is grounds for credit denial but I am not aware of any possible situation where funds in a bank account may be frozen or taken when a loan is current and low income is the only problem.


What property can a judgment creditor attach if you do not own real property or vehicles and the only money in your checking account is from regular wages?

They can garnish your wages. Texas only allows a judgment creditor to garnish wages if the creditor has no other options available to execute the judgment. A judgment creditor can levy a bank account including a joint account or a joint marital account. Regular earned income (wages) deposited into a bank account are NOT exempt from creditor seizure. The creditor may also seize and liquidate any non exempt assets belonging to the debtor (bonds, stocks, jewelry, livestock, a specified amount of tools of trade, in some cases household furnishings, etc). Texas is a community property state, therefore, it might be possible for the judgment creditor to seize joint marital property even if only one spouse is the debtor. Some income, however, cannot be attached by creditors or persons who prevail in a lawsuit. For example, disability income, Social Security income and military retirement income cannot be garnished or attached by a creditor.

Can your truck be repossessed if you are using it for income?

Yes, your truck can be repossessed even if you are using it to earn an income, however, you can tell your creditor that you are earning money with your truck, and that if the creditor does not repossess the truck you will use that income to make payments on your loan. Of course, if you are not making payments, and spending all of your income on other things, then the creditor has no motive to let you keep the truck.
