'Attach' is another term used for the action taken when a bank account is levied by a judgment creditor. In the majority of instances a judgment creditor can execute the writ against a bank account held by the judgment debtor (or jointly with another party) and withdraw the amount owed until the judgment is paid. State law determines the judgment terms, therefore the levy process will differ somewhat from state-to-state. Generally a bank levy has a specified time in which funds can be seized, then the judgment must be refiled with the clerk of the issuing court before more monies can be taken from the account. A very few US states will not allow the levy of a bank account by a judgment creditor when it is held by a married couple as Tenancy By The Entirety.

Why would a creditor garnish a bank where I don't have an account?
This begs curiosity as to why you would be aware that the creditor attempted to garnish an account where you have no accounts. Prior to serving garnishment of an account, the creditor will need to know that you do have an account or accounts at the bank. This is typically verified by the legal department or a skip tracer. If no account exists, or if there are no funds available to attach, the creditor will be notified, but there is no reason for a bank to notify you if no account exists. If you have no account at a bank, for all intents, you do not exist to the bank.

Can banks attach savings when in house foreclosure?
If you have accounts in the bank that holds your mortgage, the bank can take the money in your accounts to set off what you owe in the foreclosure. You should never have bank accounts in the bank that you owe money to. If the bank requires an account, just open an account and put in the amount needed to direct-pay the bank.
