A creditor can garnish wages or attach assets if they have obtained a judgment against the debtor.
In general, pensions are typically protected from garnishment in the case of a deficiency judgment, meaning that a bank usually cannot seize pension funds to satisfy such a judgment. However, laws can vary by state, and there may be exceptions depending on the type of pension and the specific circumstances. It's important to consult legal counsel or a financial advisor for guidance based on your situation and local laws.
To clarify, I owe money at US Bank for a defaulted credit card with them. I have a TCF checking account. If I try to deposit a check made payable to me, and that check happens to be a US Bank check, can US Bank seize the check made payable to me even if I deposit it into my TCF checking account? Not sure if they will see that US Bank funds are made payable to me from someone else's account. Any insight would help! Thanks!
Yes, if the creditor sues the debtor and wins a judgment, the judgment can be enforced as a bank account levy. Unsecured debt simply indicates that there is no specific property attached to the debt, it does not mean that a creditor cannot use a judgment to seize any non exempted property belonging to the judgment debtor. In some states including Missouri, joint marital bank accounts (unless otherwise stated), are considered to be held as Tenancy By The Entirety. This means that a joint marital TBE account cannot be levied when only one spouse is the named as the judgment debtor.
You can reinstate your mortgage after judgment was entered. The bank can move to have the court set aside the judgment.
Yes.
The judgment can be executed as a bank account levy or wage garnisment or liens against real property solely owned by the judgment debtor or to seize and liquidate any unexempt property that is owned by the judgment debtor.
Repossession occurs when the borrower fails to make payments on a loan secured by a vehicle. If "the bank" is not the lien holder then it has no authority to take possession of the car by repossession. However, if a bank obtains a judgment lien against you in court for a different debt, it can use the judgment lien to seize your car, or any other property, to satisfy the judgment.Repossession occurs when the borrower fails to make payments on a loan secured by a vehicle.

A creditor cannot seize your bank account. A creditor can sue for payment, and a court could order you to pay, but even then your bank account would not be seized. Sometimes paychecks are garnished, meaning a portion of them are taken to pay a debt, but only when ordered by a court, and never the entire amount of the paycheck. Bank accounts can also be frozen by a court, when there is a legal dispute that involves that account. Freezing an account prevents any transactions, but it is not the same as seizing the account.Another View: Disagree, in part, with the above answer. While the lienholder cannot "seize" control of "your bank account" IF the respondant is attempting to shield their assets against a court ordered lien judgment, the judge CAN order that funds equal to the judgment be paid to the plaintiff from the identified account.

A judgment creditor cannot seize a refund, that action is only available to the IRS, state tax agencies or state child support enforcement agency. The judgment creditor would need to levy the debtor's bank account, garnish income or enforce the judgment by other means allowed by the laws of the debtor's state.
A judgment creditor can levy a bank account even if it is joint. A judgment creditor can only garnish income if there is no other way to recover monies owed. A judgment creditor can place a lien against real property but cannot perfect the lien as a forced sale of a primary residence. A judgment creditor cannot seize a tax refund.

Does the car hava a lien with a bank with your husbands name on it?
If the judgment was not perfected as a lien against the property (which is almost impossible in Florida), the property is not encumbered and the title should be clear, thereby not causing a problem with the sale. The judgment holder will probably be able to execute the judgment as a bank account levy and/or seize funds garnered from the sale of the homestead.

No. They cannot unless a judgment has been rendered by the court and the new account has been seized by court order.
