    Can MS personal property be levied?
    In Mississippi do they allow the levy of personal property to settle a judgment?

    My bank accounts have already been garnished.

    Evidently, personal property can be seized and sold by auction: "The next post judgment tool a debt collection attorney can utilize if garnishments are unsuccessful is a Writ of Execution. A Writ of Execution is a request filed with the Court, instructing the Sheriff to go out and seize certain property owned by the debtor and sell that property at public auction to satisfy the debt. A Writ of Execution can be issued against any personal property of the debtor that you aware of, can be issued for cash that the debtor may have on hand or that a business may have in its cash register. But, the most effective way to collect a debt from an individual debtor on a Writ of Execution is to have the Sheriff seize the debtor's automobile."
