A creditor can garnish wages or attach assets if they have obtained a judgment against the debtor.

Assuming the debtor does not voluntarily release the information for collection to the collector due civil process is required before such action can occur. The general steps are: The collector/creditor will file a civil suit against the debtor, win the suit (which is almost certain to happen); be awarded a judgment then execute the judgment as a levy against the judgment debtor's bank account.
Yes.
Only if the vehicle was used as collateral to secure the loan/debt. If the issue is strictly credit card account default, the bank cannot arbitrarily cease the vehicle. However the bank can file suit against the debtor and if awarded a judgment execute the judgment as a lien against any of the debtor's real or personal property, including a vehicle.

If the car has been repossed, it means the person who borrowed money from a bank to purchase the car has not met his obligation to pay and the car is now owned by that bank. When that bank re-sells that car, the sales amount is sometimes not sufficient to cover the loss to the bank. The bank may then take second recourse by filing for judgment against the original purchaser to recover the difference. A judgment is a court decision regarding (usually) a debt. So...if you bought the repo from the bank, you signed a new loan agreement which is your legally binding contract to repay the loan. That means you can drive the car as long as you pay on the loan. If the judgment is against the original owner, it has nothing to do with you. The judgment may be for the debt against that car, but you have a legal contract allowing you ownership. If the judgment is against you...and is on the repo'd car - it would have been physically taken from you and you wouldn't have access to it anyway, so of course you couldn't drive it. If none of these scenarios answers your question, then be a little more specific and you'll get a more specific answer.
They will need to sue you and get a judgment against you first. After that, yes they can do those things, including garnish your paycheck.
