    Yes, the money in your account is at risk. If the creditor can find it, he can attach it.

    Hello Spring snail
    If the creditors can find your account , they can get a judgement and proceed to freeze your account you should maybe try to work something out or talk to an attorney about bankruptcy if you can not pay This will not go away you will have to deal with this sooner or later

    Slow and easy
