    Checking account Garnishment
    I just had my checking account Garnish. I had $4700 hundred dollars in the account. I owe this loan company s10,000 dollar's. Will they take it all or will they eventually let me get some money out. My card would not work today. The company beneficial wanted $368 a bi-weekly original. Icould not pay that amount without going through Hardship. My Bank is Wachovia in Clayton County Ga.

    As noted, they had to obtain a judgement first. Assuming the judgement was properly obtained, kiss that money goodbye.

    If you were not aware of the judgement, then you may have some recourse.
