Bank Levy

A bank levy is a legal action taken by creditors to seize money directly from an individual’s bank account. This can be done if an individual fails to pay a debt or a tax bill.

Examples Of Bank Levy

Defaulted Loans

Creditors and lenders can also utilize a bank levy in order to collect on unpaid loans and debts.  

Court Judgments

If an individual owes money from a court judgment, such as  a divorce decree or a civil suit, the court can order a bank levy to collect on the judgment.

Child Support

When an individual is delinquent on their child support payments, the court can issue a bank levy to collect the money owed.  In some cases, it may even be possible for the court to garnish wages as well.
