Re: Checking Account Garnishment

If you filed chapter 13, that should stop any garnishments. Are you behind on the loan? You will be paying for the van in your chapter 13 plan so they shouldn't come after your account at all. But I wouldn't trust them either and I'd probably open a new account elsewhere.

Because we have our van loan with the same bank (we are keeping the van),
how soon before the bank may try to garnish or take our money from this
account? I will be closing it out no later than tomorrow. I just have a
small child support deposit that I forgot about stopping. As soon as that
is in the account I will be able to close it out.

BTW I've been lurking and reading through posts for a while now and thanks
for all the advice. This board has helped me tremendously!
