I just had my bank account levied. It was due to a credit card account. My question is, they took out money to satisfy the judgement, does this mean that whenever in the future if I was to deposit more money in the account, it will be withdrawn again ?

If the money they took paid the judgement then no, BUT if you still owe they will get what you put in that account. Go to the bank and look at the banks copy of the amount on the paper work and then you will know

Yes, and further deposts would be seized.

The levy amount will not pay for the judgement amount. How long will the levy last ? Is there a statue of limitation for levy ? Also, is it possible for me to close my account ? Thanks

As long as the amount of the garnishment is unpaid

Thanks
