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.
Should you notify a creditor that your income is exempt from being garnished and inform your bank that your account may be 'frozen' due to a civil lawsuit?
Yes, it may or may not make an impact on the creditor's decision to pursue litigation, but it can do not harm. In the case of the bank, the bank can be notified that the account holds exempted funds, but it is the decision of the bank whether or not to comply with the judgment writ. If an account is joint or the funds in the account are questionable as to exemption or ownership, the bank generally request the court to 'freeze' the account and make rule on the validity of the judgment levy.

The debtor would certainly be notified their account is delinquent. Also, the debtor knows when they haven't been paying their bills. The creditor must sue in court and win a judgment.

The debtor will be notified of the lawsuit and must appear at the hearing or the creditor will win by default. It is better to negotiate a payment plan, if possible.
