Affidavit for bank account garnishment
Date: Sun, 06/23/2013 - 12:22
I received an Affidavit and notice of garnishment from the court. It lists my bank (US Bank) as holder of bank accounts in my name….which they are. My question is do they freeze my accounts or do they only take what is on the affidavit? I do have enough to cover the amount plus anything that will be coming back on the account. The garshiment dept is closed until tomorrow so I can't call to find out. What is the procedure and laws for this. I'm in Ohio. Also my bank account address and the address where the Affidavit was mailed is different. They are both my addresses but wondering if that affects anything. They did get a judgement and I set up payments but had a loss of income so I couldn't pay it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No they have not. I have more than enough to cover the amount they are seeking, so will they still freeze the accounts?
You will have to ask your
You will have to ask your bank...or you could call the attorney handling it and offer to pay it voluntarily. Keep in mind, the bank will charge you a fee for the garnishment.
