Thanks swedish! Excellent info in letting us know that a levy is not just a golden ticket to your bank account but it is indeed a formal process.

I don't think legally they can seize ur acct without a court order! I'm thinking they actually "stole" that money out of her acct!! She gave them her banking info, NEVER EVER NEVER give anyone that information!
Also, the original post was from a year ago! Ang __________________

I know ang, but i am very worried about these people. There are posts on google recently about this company seizing bank accounts.Like I said it is actually an option on their main menu. If your bank account has been seized press 3. seems like this is a common practice for them

I'm thinking they probably trick LOTS of people into giving out their banking info then rob them blind! It's probably common practice for them and that's why they have it on their voice mail....

Good point there too! I'd think u cud hold ur bank accountable also for someone emptying it! Maybe u cud put a freeze on ur acct for this CA only?? It's worth calling and asking them if that's possible!
Good Luck but don't worry to much! Ang __________________

Kaz....the only way a court order is done is by the judge issuing a judgement against you. If they can't garnish wages, or get payment arrangements with you directly (they = courts), they may levy your bank account. IF THEY HAVE THE BANK INFO....WHO YOU BANK WITH! They have to know who you bank with. They don't need the account number...just the name of the bank you bank with. If the bank is served or mailed a garnishment order from the court, we HAVE to abide by that. Otherwise, the bank can be fined and sued as being in contempt of court and not following a court order. If this CA is so sleazy that they send court summons to a wrong address, and then get a judgement against someone for failing to appear in court....that is very very bad. Id on't know waht to tell you, in that case. Make sure they have ONLY your current and valid address on file. That's all I can think of. But, it wouldn't do any good to hold the bank accountable for the levy....they're just following the order from the court that they received. Maybe, don't let this CA know what bank you belong to.

NEVER EVER EVER give a collection agency or a "law firm" representing a collection agency access to your bank account. That is basically permission for them to take all the money out of it.
