Best Answer

Until the debt is paid according to the judgment award. States establish garnishment laws and each state differs somewhat in the way garnishment is implemented, the percenage allowed or if it is even allowed. Contact the court where the garnishment order was issued to obtain specific information concerning state garnishment laws.

== == Overdraft on your checking account happens when a withdraw or check written exceeds the funds in the account.

Many banks will offer overdraft protection which will pull money from a different account (often a savings account, line of credit, or credit card).

Can a creditor garnish your wages or file suit for an old debt if you have been making payments as often as possible?

Yes, if the original terms of agreement were not followed, a creditor could file a suit, win, receive a judgment and enforce the judgment in the form of wage garnishment. Even if the debt is "old" the SOL would more than likely not apply in this instance. Whenever a payment or in some states even an agreeement or inquiry is made on an account, the SOL restarts.

Can wife add her name to his checking account without his approval legally?

No she can't as a matter of fact without his written permission she can't even get general information about that account. This is what I found to be amazing, if this couple has a joint savings account, but the husband's name is the only one on the checking account, he is the only one that can legally transfer money from the savings account to the checking account. It also works this way if there is a joint checking account and money needs to be transferred from the joint checking account, to the savings account with only the husband's name on it, he is the only one that can move money from one account to the other. I am a bank manager and I know this is more information than you asked for, but when I have to explain this to couples, it often leads to a very heated discussion between them in my office. I live in Virginia and I can only answer for Virginia. I hope you found this answer helpful.
