NO, YOU CAN NOT. It was just on the national news the other night. According to the story, there are certain monies that people receive that cannot be taken by creditors for any reason. The stories focus was on permenently disabled persons and others, who are having their bank accounts cleaned out electronically by their creditors What happens is in this age of electronic deposits and withdrawls, what happens if that a creditor sends the bank a court order to hand over the funds of the debtor, and the bank complies, claiming that they can't know which funds are exempt and which aren't. Advocacy groups for the people claim that is hogwash and that banks have the computer software needed to make, in many instances , obvious and simple determinations of the funds they are not allowed to release.,...I'll try and remember the income that is exempt from collection agencies and creditors...Here goes: SSI (social security payments, Disabled veterens payments, Physical and Mental Disability Payments, Disability Pensions, and other elderley and special circumstance payments. There are more that I can't remember, so you should try calling some banks in your area, also see if you can find the Department On Aging....or Department for Elderly rights..etc...You should look in the white page section, not the yellow pages of your local phone book; look for pages that are a different color, usually BLUE, that lists STATE and FEDERAL agencies to contact for this question. GOOD LUCK!!!! <<<ADR>>>
