    Freeze Bank Account PA
    My wife and I are retired and living in PA. If a credit card company files a judgement against us, can they freeze our bank account. The only funds being deposities are social security and a government pension.

    While your social security is protected, once it hits the account, its still fair game. They can strip the entire account. I am not 100% positive your pension is safe either.

    Best work out an arrangement with the CC company before its too late.
