To garnish a bank account in Michigan, a creditor must first obtain a judgment against the debtor in court. Once the judgment is secured, the creditor can file a garnishment request with the court, which will issue a writ of garnishment to the bank where the debtor holds their account. The bank is then required to freeze the specified amount of funds and notify the debtor, who has the right to contest the garnishment. It's important to follow legal procedures to ensure compliance with state laws regarding garnishment.

Why would a creditor garnish a bank where I don't have an account?
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.
