If the creditor wins a lawsuit and receives a judgment the judgment can possibly be used as a bank account levy. This would depend upon state laws relating to how the bank account is established.
Yes, a bank levy can be stopped. Generally if a levy is attached on your saving account, it means that you have unresolved debt. In most cases, a bank account can be levied by IRS or state taxing authorities. If you did not take actions, the debtors are authorized to take your money in the saving account to pay for the debt. So contact your debtors and try to figure it out. If possible get an attorney to help you deal with it. More information, you can go and check the related links.
It Depends: Yes - If you have a valid overdraft account with the bank and you currently do not have enough balance in your account to pay for bank charges No - If you do not have a valid overdraft account with the bank.
In general a bank account is subject to judgment levy every 30 days until the debt is paid. The judgment creditor must renew/refile the bank levy each time before it can be implemented. A bank account levy can allow the judgment holder to remove the total amount owed at one time. If the account balance does not hold enough funds to pay the entire amount the judgment holder in most instances can still remove the entire balance of the account. Please consult the laws of the state of residency or where the account is held for specific information. Some states only allow a one time levy where the judgment cannot be renewed and the creditor has to repeat the civil suit process. Likewise, jointly held accounts are treated differently when it relates to judgment levies than single accounts.

Yes, any assett you hold can be levied by court order. Once the payment is made to you regardless of where it came from, and once it is deposited into a bank account, it is your assett and subject to attachment. Mildly unrelated, if you have sizable outstanding debt with existing orders for payment or levy, your best bet is to stop using the account for savings, convert your monthly payments to check to you (as opposed to check to bank), and deal in cash transactions only. This is only a stop-gap method, but it may give you some breathing room.
In the majority of U.S. states a bank account levy is valid for one withdrawal withing 30 days of the date of execution. If the debt is not satisfied the judgment holder must refile the judgment as another bank levy. Generally a bank account levy can only be executed once 60-90 days after the original action. Unfortunately, in most cases the judgment holder can remove whatever amount necessary from the account to pay the debt, even if that means the account holder is left with no funds. This is only one reason that a bank account levy can be so damaging. Specific laws apply to joint accounts as to how and when the account can be levied when only one account holder is the judgment debtor.
No. An IRS levy will empty out your bank account, but they won't take more than that. However, be aware that if you have outstanding checks they will all bounce and most people will rack up quite a bit in Non-Sufficient Funds fees.

If there is a valid judgment against the account holder, the judgment creditor can levy the bank account to recover the monies owed according to the terms of the judgment and the laws of the state in which the account is held.

I have a charged off account at the bank of 146.00 how do I pay that off when I'm unemployed I have a charged off account at the bank of 146.00 how do I pay that off when I'm unemployed
You pay the underlying assessment. If they already went to levy an account, you may even be past the time you can protest. If you ignore them long enough...THEY DO NOT go away! ------- In my case, I didnt. They took all the money out of 2 of my accounts. I contacted them and am working to file my back taxes. My CPA says after I do so, I will get a refund of the excess. A levy is a 1 time thing. They did it to my account and I have since put money back in the account and they dont automatically get it unless they happen to do another levy. And they probably wont because I am not running from them anymore ! LOL

No, you cannot. It is illegal.
