There was a judgement ordering that I pay $4000. I couldn't afford to make the lump sum, and told the person I owe that, but they went ahead and went behind my back to my bank. They took the judgement in, and I got a letter in the mail today stating that they took out all the money I had in my account due to the court order. It does not say what that means though. They only took $900. Does that mean that any time I deposit money it will go to the person I owe money? Or will that person have to take other legal action since my bank did what it could? Please help.

it'd called a lien
and they will take so much percent of your wages to pay your bills

You will want to check your states laws for sure but the lien on your bank account should be a one time thing. If they want to take money out of the account it will be necessary for them to go back through Court a second time.
One way around it is to switch to another bank...and don't pay the judgement using this account :) That will make them do a little searching to find the new account.
Another option would be to contact them and offer a payment plan with the agreement that they do NOT act on the judgment as long as you keep your end of the deal.
Good luck.

don't deposit your checks anymore in the bank, and have direct deposits sent as a check until you get the matter straitened out, because no matter what bank you go to, they will get your social and track u down that way, and start taking out more. (go to check cashing locations) get this taken care of, in the way of a repayment plan, or bankruptcy, before the garnish the money from your checks, and there is no way around that except under the table work

once the levy reaches the bank, will your bank give you time to fight the judgement or appear in court before releasing your money to the debtor?

I,think this person got you for $900.00 dollars.
and that he will probably get you for more every time you deposit money in that account.I wouldn't put money in there until I get more information about the court order.and if he does then you know what make him wait keep only $20.00 dollars in there a month.Good Luck!

If this person or company, or government has this much legal judgment, you are **** out of luck. DO NOT PUT MONEY INTO THIS ACCOUNT, THEY HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY. CLOSE THE ACCOUNT. GO TO ANOTHER BANK AND OPEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT OR KEEP YOUR MONEY TO YOURSELF!!
