When can a bank seize funds from your account?
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.
