Yes. A garnishment is usually served upon a 3rd party holding assets of a debtor. So if a garnishment is served on a bank where the debtor has an account the bank will have to answer how much are in those accounts and a turn over order can be issued so that the creditor may collect his judgment.
That depends upon the laws of the state where you reside or where the bank account is. Normally, when a levy is placed on a bank account, the account is frozen and the account owner is given a certain amount of time to go to court to prove that the levy should not have been placed on the account. The money in the account will not be turned over to anyone until the court orders it. If the account owner fails to make an objection in court within the stated time period, the bank is allowed to assume that the owner has no objection and turn the account funds over to the creditor.

If you are the not named on the judgment levy, you must file a petition with the court where the judgment was granted to have the confiscated funds belonging to you returned. The court will require proof of what portion of the funds in the account were yours. If the account was held jointly by a married couple in a community property state the total amount of the account if not considered exempt (SS benefits, public assistance, private pensions and disability benefits) is subject to seizure by the judgment creditor even when only one spouse is the judgment debtor.
If you sell a car you owe a creditor a balance on, you pay the creditor the amount you owe him in order to get the title to the vehicle to turn over to your buyer. Anything over the balance owed to the creditor is yours to keep, assuming you sold it for more than you owed on it. If you sold it for less than you owe on it you will have to pay the additional amount out of your pocket to get the title.

The person involved could obtain a copy of their credit report and check to see what creditor is listed as a charge off. Be advised that not every credit bureau has information on every account that belongs to an individual. The simplest option is to wait until the creditor or collector makes contact, and they most definitely will.
