    Bank Levy
    My boyfriend received a bank levy from Chase Bank for a credit card debt. The bank account is under both names. Can they levy the joint account? We are not legally married.

    Also, Can we stop the levy if we go to the court? If yes, which form form do I need to complete?

    We are in California. Thanks for your help!

    Yes, as long as he is listed as a joint owner they can attach all of it.

    Its probably too late to go to court. Before they can attach his account, they need to get a judgement. So the bank has already gone to court and obtained a judgement. Your boyfriend probably didn't tell you that he had this judgement hanging over his head.

Bank levy [ 1 Answers ]

Can a levy be place against your bank account if it is joint and the joint account holder is not your spouse. Is it true that adding a child or aanother third party to your account as a trust or co owner will stop the levy because creditors can not seize an account with a third party.
