I just found out that a 1999 debt has been placed in court and they have put a levy on my joint account with my boyfriend, all the money in the bank is his from his direct deposit pay checks, none of which is mine. How do I get them to not take his money that I owe. I live in nj is there a statue of limitations on credit card accounts

First, once they get a judgement they can attach any asset that you are listed on as an owner. Second, While there is an SOL on when they can initiate suit for credit card debt, that is now moot since they already obtained a judgement. Its probable this judgement was obtained years ago and just waited for assets to seize.

If you can prove that the only money deposited inthat account is your bf's salary, you may be able to get the writ of attachment removed. To do so, you would have to file a motion in the court that issued the writ.

I can't even get the lawyer in charge to try to make arrangements around this he just refuses, if I don't have the money how do I pay off debt.

There is no "lawyer in charge". There is a judge in charge and you need to deal with the judge not the plaintiff's lawyer.

Scottgem is right there is no lawyer "in charge" the time to have made payment arragements was before the judgement. You will have to prove that the money in the account is your boyfriend by filing a motion with the court that issued the writ
