The time frame in accordance with the FDCPA is between the hours
of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in the account holder's time zone. However,
this only applies to third party collectors, it does not apply to
the original creditor. OC's are not bound by the federal debt
collection act.

Asked in Law & Legal Issues
Does a creditor have to have a court order for garnish a bank account?
Yes. A creditor can not just simply walk into a bank and demand
your money. Only a court can have a creditor take money from your
bank account. Actually, the court would probably order the bank to
pay a certain amount to the creditor from your account rather than
give the creditor the right to take money out of your account. A
supreme court decision stopped that racket in Arizona.
