A bank account levy is one method for a judgment creditor to recover monies owed for a debt. The judgment holder files the writ of judgment with the clerk of the court where the judgment was entered against the judgment debtor as bank account levy. I If the judgment is allowed to be executed, the sheriff will serve the writ for levy (garnishment) of the debtor's account on the bank where the account is held. The bank can either honor the writ and release the funds up to the maximum of the judgment or request the court to "freeze" the account and decide whether or not the judgment writ is valid. When an account is joint and only one account holder is the judgment debtor, the bank will usually request the account to be frozen. It then becomes the responsibility of the non debtor account holder to provide documentation to the court proving the amount of funds belonging to them.

In Colorado, creditors who have obtained a judgment against a debtor can levy a bank account. This means that the creditor can legally seize funds from the debtor's bank account to satisfy the debt. However, there are certain exemptions and limitations on what funds can be levied, such as those related to child support payments or public benefits. It is important for debtors to be aware of their rights and seek legal advice if facing a bank account levy.

A court levy is actually put in place by a court, the bank is required by law to comply with the court. The reason the court may have put a levy on your account is usually due to an unpaid debt. I would contact your bank and try to find out the details. In most places, the bank is required to provide notification of a levy, but not until after the levy action has taken place.
It's a one time rape of your bank account. Whatever funds are holding when the bank levy hits, up to the judgment amount, will be deducted from your account and sent to the court. If they issue another levy, same thing will happen again each time the levy is issued.
