Mark Required Fields In Legal Letters For Free

Yes, a debt collector can take money that you owe them directly from your bank account, but they have to win a lawsuit first. This is known as garnishing.

The consent order finds that Bank of America engaged in an ?unfair practice? when it processed out-of-state garnishments from nonrestriction states by applying the exemption laws of the issuing state (where the garnishment notice came from) instead of the exemption laws of the state where the customer resided.

The order requires U.S. Bank to stop its unlawful practices and to develop a plan to remediate all harmed consumers by returning all unlawfully charged fees and costs, plus interest. The order also requires U.S. Bank to pay a $37.5 million penalty to the Bureau.

There are four ways to open a bank account that no creditor can touch: (1) use an exempt bank account, (2) establish a bank account in a state that prohibits garnishments, (3) open an offshore bank account, or (4) maintain a wage or government benefits account.
