Yes, a court can issue an order to garnish funds from your checking account, including amounts transferred from your CalSTRS retirement benefits, to satisfy a debt or obligation. This typically occurs through a legal process where a creditor obtains a judgment against you. However, certain protections may apply to retirement funds, and specific legal procedures must be followed. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options in such situations.

Do collection agencies have the right to freeze your checking account without going to court for a credit card debt of over 10K on the original credit card?
Collection agencies cannot do anything but attempt to collect the debt -- via phone calls mostly which is a pain, but you don't have to talk to them. They can, with the permission of the original creditor, turn the account over to an attorney. The attorney must follow due process through the court system. Only through due process can assets be siezed or liquidated to satisfy debts. The exception is the IRS. They do pretty much what they will, so pay your income taxes when due. The IRS can seize your checking account in a New York minute. Typically state owed taxes, court ordered child support, or any previous court ordered judgment require an order to attach wages or access your checking account.
Can anyone garnish a checking account?
I don't know if this helps anyone or not but I know that I have a friend who had went to court several months ago over a dr bill. The judgment was set for her to pay so much a month.

No. A collections agency can garnish wages. A court can order you to pay up, but no one can go into your checking account and take money away. A checking account can be seized by the IRS or by court order. a collection agency did seize and close my checking account, by court order, without knowing where or even if I had an account. so yes it is possible. this happened 2-20-2006 A creditor must follow due process meaning a winning a lawsuit and having a judgment entered against the debtor defendant and then executing the judgment as a bank account levy. In some cases the creditor will ask the court to "freeze" the funds in the account until the case is heard, this is generally done when there is a reason to believe the debtor will attempt to transfer or remove the money. It's a fairly simple matter for a judgment creditor to find a bank account, especially if they have kept a record of payments made from the account. Joint accounts are also subject to judgment levy except with the exception of marital counts held as TBE. The IRS and/or state tax agents cannot arbitrarily remove money from an account they must have a court order and the debtor must be informed before the account is seized. With the exception of the state of Massachusetts the IRS may only levy a bank account once.
Can a creditor or debt collection agency access my bank account for debt collection?
Yes they can. After they have obtained a court judgment. I fell behind on two payments on a court ordered payment plan and the creditor sent a letter asking me to contact them within 10 days. I did not. I am not sure how they were able to do it, but they got a court order placing a hold on my checking account (took all the money that was available) and I am not able to withdrawal any money from the account until such a time that the debt is satisfied. I would advice that you contact them to try and set up some sort of payment plan if and when they do get access to your account.
