I mean, how dare those idiots think your dumb enough to actually ever let them get what you owe them!
Sure...thats it...change accounts. No one else woulda' thought of that - your just one step ahead of the rest of us. And fearless too. What a man!
Boy....your slick.And that criminal act that puts you in prison (unlike the civil ones of not paying a debt)...you know the one even the "big time" Enron, etc guys get prosecuted under (because it's snubbing your nose at the authorities that make and enforce the laws)...what's it called again? Something like fleeing to avoid prosecution....oh know...this isn't cowardly fleeing, it's something else....maybe "hiding assets to avoid process..." or something. Oh, who cares.
I'm not a legal expert, but generally, opening a new checking account after garnishment procedures have started may not necessarily protect those funds from being frozen or garnished. It's important to consult with a lawyer or financial advisor who can provide guidance based on your specific situation and local laws. Additionally, it's worth noting that attempts to conceal or hide assets to avoid garnishment can have legal consequences.
No.
Not for the same debt, but a wage garnishment can be implemented by one judgment creditor and a bank account levy by an additional judgment creditor.

If there is a garnishment that has been filed with the court, it is legal to have wages garnished up to 25% of the net amount. A savings account can also be attached but again, needs to go through a court of law.

It depends on who the garnisment order is against and how it is written. A joint account where only one person is the debtor can be garnished under certain circumstances. The difficulty in figuring out your situation, is not knowing where you reside. Each state legislates its own laws for garnishment of wages and bank accounts. If you live in a community property state, such as CA. and have a joint marital bank account, it can be garnished.
Until the debt and all fees, interest, etc. is paid.
Yes, it does. A garnishment can occur only where the creditor has obtained a judgment against you in a court of law. After the judgment is entered, the creditor can garnish your bank account if it knows where you bank. There are some exceptions to this, in that bank account that is jointly owned by husband and wife cannot be garnished, unless the judgment is against both spouses. The second exception is where the funds in the account are traceable to Social Security benefits. For more answers to similar questions on PA laws, please visit my website at www.gregartim.com
For a persons wages or bank account to be garnished the garnisher must have been awarded a judgment in connection with a lawsuit against the debtor. The exceptions are a garnishment for court ordered child support or spousal maintenance (alimony).
