PA. is one of the very few states that does not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt. It does however allow bank account levies, although married couples holding joint accounts may be protected by TBE laws. Homestead exemption for a primary residence is $8,725 if married and only the debt(s) are single TBE laws apply; $2,775 vehicle exemption, $1,750 in trade tools, $9,650 for any other personal property that the debtor chooses to protect. Unsecured creditors do not try to attach or liquidate such things as furnishings, it is too complicated and hardly if ever profitable. If the debt pertains to a married couple and it is not a joint debt, then TBE laws will more than likely apply and there is very little a creditor can do to execute a judgment unless the debtor owns property in their name only. Federal non-bankruptcy exemptions can be used in conjuction with state exemptions when it applies to a lawsuit, these exemptions include all SS benefits, private disability benefits, pension exemptions, and so forth.
