I have a friend who woke up this morning and found her checking account had been completely drained. Previously she had a balance of $1,300.00 and today she had a balance of $1.00!!!! The bank told her they recieved a "notice of levy" and had to take her money!!! I didn't get the details yet (she was too upset to talk). Is this normal?? Can this really happen? I just opened a checking account again, and now i'm worried. Antone ever heard of these bank levy's?Reason for Editing (Minimum 15 Characters)

Hi, I'm desperate! I've had my bank account frozen on Friday. (it is now Tuesday at 3:30 AM). This is a joint account because my fiance was no longer able to deposit his pay-roll check into my account without being on the account. The bank just decided that they were going to enforce that rule after many years several months ago.
HE owes a medical bill of almost 3,000 dollars from 3 years ago. We used to get bills for it but not having 3,000 for anything I just ignored them and waited for the collection agency to get it. When the CA calls then you can work on whittling down the bill and make payment arrangements. Only thing is, they never called. I hadn't heard anything about this bill for over a year.
Now a lawyer has claimed ALL my money! I can't pay bills, I can't eat...checks are going to bounce etc...
Thing is: I NEVER HEARD from these people! They never called, wrote or contacted us in any method. How can a judgement be made against you without your being informed of the court date so as to appear?
I live in NY state and have tried contacting this "lawyer" since Friday. They have not answered any calls. The number just goes to voice mail. :/
I HAVE NO MONEY for a lawyer to fight these people and I certainly do not have 3,000 dollars to just throw away. As it stands now they've taken 2,100 from me (which was already spent on bills and living) I'm in debt for 800 more and STILL the 2,100 worth of bills I had inteneded to pay needs to be paid?
I don't even WORK, that's why my boyfriend always gives me his check. I take care of our joint finances, etc. I am actually quite good at paying and stretching our dollars and have gotten my credit score up from 360 (had a few bad months about 3 years ago) to over 700 as of this month. I'm scared to death at the moment.
Meanwhile, I typed in this lawyer's name and sure enough there are NUMEROUS hits for him on all the consumer complaint boards! I expect they are the lowest of the low and am not at ALL SURE what they've done is the least bit legal. I tried searching for a judgement on the net against my boyfriend but turned up nothing.
please, if you can offer me assistance, or a number to call for assistance, contact me at [email]Tipareths@aol.com[/email].

Contact the clerk of courts immediately. Explain the situation, they will be able to help you further. Some lawyers work with a "no fee until you win" Also contact the bank immediately and let them know the same thing you sent us. Also might not help to contact your States AG.Reason for Editing (Minimum 15 Characters)

I co-own and manage a 3rd Party collection company in Ohio. We were chasing Mr. Sam J. the owner of a plumbing company whom our client had a $5,200,000 Judgement against. [To be fair this was a multi-party judgement resulting from the wrongful death suit of a former employee of the plumbing company. Due to the nature of the judgement all the defendents were 100% liable for the full amount owed. This meant that we could levy the bank account of any of the named parties.]
Due to the cash flow of the Plumbing company, the best we were able to suck was $1200/mo payments--- that was until lady luck caused Sam's wife to receive an out-of-state $835,000 inheirantence check from her parents estate. She deposited this check in a joint checking account she shared with Sam.
As a matter of routine, we call the banks weekly on all our client's debtors when large judgements are in play.
We were lucky, as we found out about this money before the bank released its HOLD ON "out-of-state check deposits". We were able to obtain a bank levey for the balance of the account less $1; thus collecting a large chunk for our client and generating a large fee for ourselves.
The funniest thing was that, Sam and his wife, were so pissed off that they called in and made death threats in an attempt to extort the money back out of us. All phone calls are recorded, and they were arrested and charged with felony crimes. :)
If you have any tax lien against yourself, or a judgement.... don't leave any money in any bank account with your name on it.... or it may disappear in the blink of an eye!!!!!
P.S. Mrs. Sam J., called my office and complained that it was not "FAIR" that she should lose her 'family' money for some debts owed by her husband. She also complained that the judgement was not against her, only her husband. I told her that under the law, when she deposited that check into a joint account with her husband, the money legally became both of thiers;; and that gave my firm the LEGAL RIGHT to levy 100% of it!!!!Reason for Editing (Minimum 15 Characters)
