with in less then a year I will settle a small New York state Workmen's compensations case and just received a judgment from a unpaid credit card. I collect social security disability and was working part time to make ends meet. Credit card company wasn't satisfied with my problems. Now put a judgment on me. The bank told me the check can be held and not released by law. This small amount that I will receive is the only money I will have to get back on my feet. Can they do this ?. Will Provident Bank allow them to put a hold on my check ?.Am I in a lose, lose situation with my accident at work ?. Please someone give me the true legal answer. Thank you in advance,
Garnish or hold in bank when trying to cash
Welcome to the forums!!!
The credit card company can’t garnish your social security benefit but they can put a levy on your bank account to satisfy their judgment. You can’t do anything in this regard. Try to contact with the court and explain them about your financial situation.
