Can a loan company garnish my 401k?
No. No. There are, however, two points at work here as follows: A 401(k) account is a retirement account that is generally protected from creditors. You are only allowed to access the funds at retirement or through loans where you are effectively borrowing money from yourself and paying yourself back that money with interest. Garnishing is a phrase that implies money being taken from income of some sort. Putting this all together, a loan company, if they get a judgment against you, could garnish your wages but would not be able to touch anything that has to do with your 401(k).
What is a judgment in personal finance?
When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company). If the judgment is for the plaintiff, the result is effectively a judgment against the defendant (the person taken to court in the example). Part of the judgment is the amount that is to be paid to the entity winning the court case (judgment). Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.
Who is a garnishee?

Roth 401(k) vs. Traditional 401(k) and your Paycheck?
Roth 401(k) vs. Traditional 401(k) and your Paycheck A 401(k) can be an effective retirement tool. As of January 2006, there is a new type of 401(k) contribution. Roth 401(k) contributions allow you to contribute to your 401(k) account on an after-tax basis and pay no taxes on qualifying distributions when the money is withdrawn. For some investors this could prove to be a better option than the Traditional 401(k) contributions, where deposits are made on a pre-tax basis, but are subject to taxes when the money is withdrawn. Use this calculator to help determine the option that could work for you and how it might affect your paycheck.
Can a payday loan company file a judgment against you?
In general, any lender can file suit, be granted a judgment, and have the judgment enforced. So the short answer is yes. Some also claim they can file criminal charges for a "bad check(s)." This is not true. The actions that can be taken depend on the laws of the state in which the person resides.
Can 401k be taken in civil lawsuit?
Yes, a 401(k) plan may be seized by a judgment creditor after a civil lawsuit even though you personally are not entitled to take the funds out without a tax penalty. If the 401(k) is seized, you will probably have to pay the taxes and penalties just as if you had taken out the funds yourself and used them to pay the judgment creditor.
What is the difference between pre-judgment depositions and post-judgment depositions?
Pre-judgment depositions are taken prior to trial and reflect issues of whether or not the defendant is liable. Post judgment depositions are taken after a trial (or settlement) and typically go to issues of the amount of liability or methods of enforcing the judgment.

If a judgment has been issued for a repossession deficiency will it affect a 401K when cashed in and can they place a lien on your home which is homesteaded or take the money if it is sold?
A judgment creditor cannot levy on your 401(k), but they can levy on your bank account and money from a 401(k) distribution would be vulnerable if it was in your bank account at the time the levy occurred. Filing a homestead does not prohibit a judgment creditor from filing a lien against your home. The judgment creditor can wait for you to sell or refinance your home. If there is enough equity in your home to pay off the mortgage and your homestead, there might be enough equity to be able to force a sale of your home.
If you had a levy placed against your bank account in 2005 and nothing has happened since can action still be taken at a later time?
In all likelihood it would be necessary for the creditor to refile the judgment as a new bank account levy or even renew the judgment and then file. The action that can be taken by a judgment creditor is determined by the laws of the state where the judgment is entered.
