Can you garnish a bank account when the owner of the company I have the judgment on has his Bank account listed under INC.in the Bank of America bank account?
Type your answer here... YES YOU CAN, THE LEVY IS HIT BASED ON THE SSN AND NAME SO IF THE DEBTORS NAME IS ON THE JUDGMENT AND HAS A BUSINESS ACCOUNT YOUR LEVY WILL BE GOOD.
If you have a judgment against you and you live in Texas and don't have a house or car in your name can they take money out of your checking account?
Yes. Texas does not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt but it does allow bank account levy even if the account is jointly held.
Can a bank account be garnished if the name is different on the judgemnet?
Maybe, d/b/a/ accounts are generally subject to a judgment levy if all other information is correct, such as SSN, an address, and so forth. The bigger question may be why is the name different? If is due to a marriage or name change then the judgment is valid and the bank account can more than likely be levied. If it is an error by the plaintiff, meaning they named the wrong person in the suit, the judgment is faulty and cannot be excecuted.
Can a wife's bank account be garnished because of a judgment against her husband for an unpaid debt in his name?
Generally they can't garnish your account for a debt in your husbands name only unless he also uses your account - as in a joint account or his pay is deposited in the account.
Can a collection agency levy your bank account if your name is on the account only for convenience?
Yes. That is one of the risks associated with having a joint account. Your creditor can attach the funds pursuant to a court judgment.
If a creditor gives account to attorney for a judgment-can the creditor freeze the debtors business bank account-or just his personal accountCreditor account in my name only co-signed business acc't?
They can legally freeze anything with your name on it. Also know if they can prove your spouse has a checking account with the same bank you do they can take it too. They don't actually freeze it. They take out the balance and refund whatever is left after all their costs. ONLY IF IT IS A JUDGMENT!!!!!
If you have been sued for nonpayment of a credit card but everything is in your husband's name except your bank account can a judgment be placed against you and can they freeze your bank account?
If the debt is valid and proper legal procedures according to state laws is followed a judgment will be granted if the plaintiff wins the lawsuit (they will). Whether the joint bank account can be levied or other property attached by a lien or even a forced sale, depends on state laws and how the property is titled. For example, if you live in a TBE state, a judgment cannot be levied against a joint marital account, although the creditor might still try. If you reside in a community property state most debts are considered joint and both spouses are responsible, regardless of who is the account holder.
If you owe a bank money can they seize your check being deposited into another account not in your name?
No. They cannot unless a judgment has been rendered by the court and the new account has been seized by court order.
How do you find a debtor's bank account information when you have a judgment against them?
One of the difficulties a judgment creditor has is executing the judgment. The court will not assist the creditor in finding assets belonging to the debtor unless the creditor has filed and been granted a motion of discovery. The options for finding a debtor's bank account are somewhat limited unless the creditor has a copy of a check or the name of the banking facility. One method is to call bank branches that are closest to where the person resides and see if you can persuade the bank to tell you if the person of that name banks there. Be advised, the bank has no legal obligation to impart the information (and they seldom will) unless they are presented with a court order.
