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.

If children are named as joint account holders, the creditor may have limited access to those funds depending on local laws. It's advisable to consult a legal expert for specific guidance in such situations.

Yes, in Kansas, a creditor can seize funds from your bank accounts under certain circumstances, typically after obtaining a judgment against you. This process is known as a bank levy, where the creditor can request the court to allow them to take funds directly from your account to satisfy the debt. However, certain exemptions may apply, such as protecting a portion of your funds, especially those related to public benefits or wages. It's advisable to seek legal counsel if facing potential account seizure.
Yes, that is true but the bank can go to court and get a judgment against you then call the county sheriff to go to your house and seize your personal assets from your house to satisfy the debt!

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.
