If a creditor wins judgment against you and follow through with bank account garnishments procedures, your bank may allow the judgment creditor to take the funds in your bank account. However, there are many instances when a judgment can be re-opened and the case reviewed again. You should seek out the advice of an attorney to evaluate your legal rights.
