If you no longer have the same bank account that you used to pay the creditor with, can they garnish your new account? How do they get the account number to the new account?

They have to take you to court to get a judgment against you to garnish your account. If the judge gives them permission to garnish your account then the bank can not stop them from garnishing your new account. So that's how they get your account number.
