Yes, it can. It doesn't matter whether it is joint or not, as long as one of the signers is the borrower of the original loan. One of you need to call the company and make arrangements immediately in order to possibly stop any more money being taken. Otherwise, any further deposits will be taken until the loan amount and added expenses will be paid off. Good Luck

In Michigan, a joint checking account can potentially be garnished if one person on the account has a judgment against them. The funds in the account are typically seen as joint property, meaning they can be used to satisfy the debts of any account holder. However, there may be exceptions if the non-debtor can prove that the funds in the account are solely theirs. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional for specific advice regarding your situation.

A writ of judgment can be used to levy a checking or savings account that belongs to the debtor. Joint accounts can be partially protected but the other account holder must file the proper documents with the court where the judgment was granted. The bank has no obligation to notify the account holder(s) that the account has been levied. The account holder(s) should remove funds and close the account if at all possible. This can only be done BEFORE the judgment has been executed.

Who is considered the head of household regarding garnishment of a joint checking account shared by husband and wife in the State of Florida.?

How a judgment can be enforced on a joint marital bank or any joint account depends upon how the account is identified. The status of such will be noted in the original application for opening an account at the specified financial institution. In Florida bank accounts (savings and checking) belonging to a married couple are considered by default as held as Tenancy By The Entirety. This means both spouses are sole owners of the funds and one may do whatever they choose with such without the permission of the other spouse. It aslo means that if one spouse is the named judgment debtor the account cannot be levied by a judgment creditor. Please note, having such protection is automatic under banking law, but the account holder is responsible for notifying the court and supplying required documentation of the account(s) exemption from judgment attachment.
