Does pa law allow checking account garnishment?

Yes, it does. A garnishment can occur only where the creditor has obtained a judgment against you in a court of law. After the judgment is entered, the creditor can garnish your bank account if it knows where you bank. There are some exceptions to this, in that bank account that is jointly owned by husband and wife cannot be garnished, unless the judgment is against both spouses. The second exception is where the funds in the account are traceable to Social Security benefits. For more answers to similar questions on PA laws, please visit my website at www.gregartim.com

How do you calculate average daily balance?

AnswerTake the account balance at the end of each day's business. Add all of these balances and divide by the number of days.

Average Daily Balance is the practice of crediting an account from the day a payment is received or debiting an account on the day a charge is made. It is a daily tracking of what is owed. The lender adds the beginning balance for each day in the billing period to the charges made that day, and then subtracts any payments and/or credits made to the account that day. Adjusted Balance adds charges and subtracts payments made during the billing cycle from the balance at the end of the previous billing cycle. This method is more advantageous to borrowers and credit card holders.

Can anyone garnish a checking account?

I don't know if this helps anyone or not but I know that I have a friend who had went to court several months ago over a dr bill. The judgment was set for her to pay so much a month. She missed a payment and then all of a sudden she started getting bounced check notifications in the mail. when she called to find out what was going on because she and her husband had just been paid, the bank told her that there was a levy put on her account.

No. A collections agency can garnish wages. A court can order you to pay up, but no one can go into your checking account and take money away. A checking account can be seized by the IRS or by court order.

a collection agency did seize and close my checking account, by court order, without knowing where or even if I had an account. so yes it is possible. this happened 2-20-2006

A creditor must follow due process meaning a winning a lawsuit and having a judgment entered against the debtor defendant and then executing the judgment as a bank account levy. In some cases the creditor will ask the court to "freeze" the funds in the account until the case is heard, this is generally done when there is a reason to believe the debtor will attempt to transfer or remove the money. It's a fairly simple matter for a judgment creditor to find a bank account, especially if they have kept a record of payments made from the account. Joint accounts are also subject to judgment levy except with the exception of marital counts held as TBE. The IRS and/or state tax agents cannot arbitrarily remove money from an account they must have a court order and the debtor must be informed before the account is seized. With the exception of the state of Massachusetts the IRS may only levy a bank account once.

What happens to savings and CD accounts during bankruptcy that have your name on them if they belong to another person and you actually have not inherited them yet?

If your name is on any account or CD, it is an asset of your bankruptcy estate. If the money cannot be exempted, then it can be siezed by the Trustee. However, if these are funds that are held in a Trust or become yours only upon the death of the holder of the funds, then they may not be reachable by a Trustee. If the person dies within 6 months of your bankruptcy filing date, then the money will have to go to the Trustee.

Does having a checking account improve your credit score?

No, a checking account is not correlated to your credit score. The only reason why you have to give your social security # is to prove that you have no outstanding debt with any other banks.
