Checking Account Garnishmennt
1. I have two checking accounts at a particular bank
2. I am the primary account holder on both
3. My sister is a joint (secondary) account holder on both
4. My sister had some credit problems
5. Her creditor garnished an account she had, and
6. Both of mine since her name appeared on them also
7. She informed both the creditor and the bank that the funds were mine
8. But the bank honored the writ of garnishment anyway
9. I was not informed of any judgements that could/would affect my accounts
10. I was not informed of the garnishment process involving my accounts
11. I discovered the action weeks later when I received my bank statement
12. Was the garnishment legal?
13. Should I have been notified of the garnishment?
14. Do I have any recourse to recover my money?
