Yes, in Kansas, a creditor can seize funds from your bank accounts under certain circumstances, typically after obtaining a judgment against you. This process is known as a bank levy, where the creditor can request the court to allow them to take funds directly from your account to satisfy the debt. However, certain exemptions may apply, such as protecting a portion of your funds, especially those related to public benefits or wages. It's advisable to seek legal counsel if facing potential account seizure.
A creditor can not seize your account unless: 1) They are also your bank and you signed agreements allowing "right of offset" where the bank can take funds from your accounts to satisfy delinquent loans you have with them. 2) Your creditor obtained a court order allowing them to attach funds or place a levy on funds. Insufficient income is grounds for credit denial but I am not aware of any possible situation where funds in a bank account may be frozen or taken when a loan is current and low income is the only problem.
A creditor can garnish wages or attach assets if they have obtained a judgment against the debtor.
Yes, a creditor can garnish a bank account in South Carolina. The creditor will have to obtain a judgment from a court before a bank account can be garnished.
Yes. The state allows the levy of bank accounts even those held jointly by judgment creditor(s).
This begs curiosity as to why you would be aware that the creditor attempted to garnish an account where you have no accounts. Prior to serving garnishment of an account, the creditor will need to know that you do have an account or accounts at the bank. This is typically verified by the legal department or a skip tracer. If no account exists, or if there are no funds available to attach, the creditor will be notified, but there is no reason for a bank to notify you if no account exists. If you have no account at a bank, for all intents, you do not exist to the bank.

With a judgment and execution, the sheriff can. Without it no. But the collection agency can never legally access it. However, there are ways to do it illegally. Can the creditor do it... ? If you have a citizens acct and a debt with them, then yes, they can legally access whatever accounts you have with them. But a creditor can't just get access to you bank accounts. (I own a collection agency)
