One of the difficulties a judgment creditor has is executing the judgment. The court will not assist the creditor in finding assets belonging to the debtor unless the creditor has filed and been granted a motion of discovery. The options for finding a debtor's bank account are somewhat limited unless the creditor has a copy of a check or the name of the banking facility. One method is to call bank branches that are closest to where the person resides and see if you can persuade the bank to tell you if the person of that name banks there. Be advised, the bank has no legal obligation to impart the information (and they seldom will) unless they are presented with a court order.

Can creditor garnish bank account when I am listed as a custodian on my child's account?

Yes. In the event a creditor has secured a judgment against you for a bad debt, that creitor may secure by garnishment any account on which you appear. By legal definition any account on which you appear is your account. It is an old trick, and not very successfully done in past years, for debtors to try to hide their finances behind their children's names. Collections agencies and many creditors now have people on staff called skip tracers who specialize in locating the assets of debtors. If it is out there, they will find it.

If a creditor gives account to attorney for a judgment-can the creditor freeze the debtors business bank account-or just his personal accountCreditor account in my name only co-signed business acc't?

They can legally freeze anything with your name on it. Also know if they can prove your spouse has a checking account with the same bank you do they can take it too. They don't actually freeze it. They take out the balance and refund whatever is left after all their costs. ONLY IF IT IS A JUDGMENT!!!!!
