Not in Florida. You need to check the laws in your state. The answer is probably no for your state as well.
Are you the head of a household? That also makes a difference.
If you are worried, close your account and don't put any more money into it. Then find out what the laws in your state are, and proceed from there.
In Florida the only entity that can freeze your bank account is the IRS.

no! Once a garnishment is set, that is the same a making payment. Plus, no one except the U.S. goverment can freeze your bank account. So if some one is threating you in such a way you may want to take legal actios yourself.

Yes, they can attach themselves to anything that you have that is an assett. The only way out now is to file chapter 7 or chapter 13 bankruptcy.
