Can any one tell me what are the laws in PA as far as bank levy's? I have 2 joint accounts ith my wife and am being sued by Discover. If a judgment is granted can they go after my joint accounts? Also when a judgment is granted are they likely to set up a payment schedule right there in court.

Thanks for the help.

Assuming the suit is in state court, judgment creditors normally

Assuming the suit is in state court, judgment creditors normally can't touch joint assets in Pennsylvania unless both spouses are included in the judgment. Also, in PA there is no wage garnishment to pay judgments.

They will most likely not set up a payment schedule right there

They will most likely not set up a payment schedule right there in court. Once they have a judgment, they need to enforce it. It is up to the Plaintiff to speak up and hold a payment hearing to enforce, not the court.

As far as your other question I can't find your states laws, you may want to give this attorney a call and see what he says.
