Florida is not a CP state, therefore if only one spouse is the debtor and the bank account is held as Tenancy By The Entirety it is theoretically not subject to levy.

Please note, the non debtor must submit documentation of a TBE defense to the court. Exemption of such bank accounts is not "automatic" and requires a ruling by the court as to the status of the account(s).

Can a creditor levy your bank account in Texas and how do they find your bank account?

Yes your bank account can be levied for a credit card debt in texas. They CANNOT garnish your wages but they can levy your bank account if they sue you and get a default judgement. I found this out the hard way. My husband had stopped paying on a credit card in 2006 and we received a notice 12/2009 that they were suing him but was not aware of what they could really do besides put it on his credit. They froze every account with his name and social attached to it.

Is a credit card company allowed to garnish the wife's bank account for her husbands debt?

There are several potential scenarios here:The credit card lender must have a judgment to send an order of garnishment, first and foremost. And, both parties must be listed in the order of judgment.It is possible, if the agreement was signed at the time the credit line was initiated, for some credit card lenders, such as Chase for instance, to take money from an account at the same bank. If the husband and wife have a joint account, the money will be taken regardless of who deposited it.If the bank account is a joint account and an order of garnishment is served, it will not matter who is on the account so long as the party upon whom the judgment is served is on the account.It is possible that if the lender has proof that the husband is sheltering his funds in the wife's account, that a judge may permit an order of garnishment to be served on the wife's account, but only for the funds he deposits there.


Is the wife responsible for deceased husband's business credit card debt in the state of Florida?

In Florida, whether a wife is responsible for her deceased husband's business credit card debt generally depends on how the debt was incurred and the nature of the account. If the credit card was solely in the husband's name and used exclusively for business purposes, the estate may be responsible for the debt, not the wife personally. However, if the wife was a co-signer or if the debt was incurred for joint expenses, she could be held liable. It's advisable to consult a legal professional for specific circumstances.

Can a federal credit union garnish disability?

Banks do not place liens or garnish your paychecks (your employer would have to do that). However, if a garnishment is received by your credit union, they have to freeze any liquid funds in your account at the time the garnishment is received and send the funds to the court (by law). This is regardless of the source of the funds.


Can a credit card company freeze your bank account after a garnishment is ordered even if your credit card was not with that bank?

Yes, that is the way a garnishment works. When the credit card company sues you for non-payment of debt, they win a judgment. The judgment can be a garnish on your paycheck or your bank account. It makes no difference who you have a bank account with if they were awarded the garnishment by court.
