You need to speak with a local consumer rights attorney.  There are various federal, local, and state consumer protection statutes that may protect your rights and a local consumer rights attorney will be able to determine which laws apply.

Hello, my name is teresa allen and i have a question: Does debtors have the legal right to go into one''s account and freeze the funds at anytime?

Answered 14 years and a month ago by attorney John Schleiffarth   |   1 Answer
John Schleiffarth
Generally speaking a creditor may levy your bank account to satisfy a judgment. If you file bankruptcy before the funds have been withdrawn, those funds will need to be returned to you and the account will be unfrozen. You may be able to work out an installment payment plan in exchange for a partial release of the account. If you were never served properly, you may be able to have the judgment set aside. The attorney fees you would have to pay to do so may not be worth it if you legitimately owe the money.  ... Read Answer

Can my bank account be garnished for the full amount when there was another adult on the apartment lease? Should she be responsible for half of what is owed? Can my bank account be cleaned out to pay this debt?

It depends on if the lease has language stating something similar to "... the lease is jointly and severably liable."  This means that the defending parties are liable together and liable separately.  The landlord could sue you, because you have the assets to fulfill the lease terms, and you would then need to sue the co-tenant for his/her portion of the balance.  You should read the lease, and then consult a real estate attorney to determine what options you have. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.

can you be arrested for not paying a internet payday loan back?

No.  Failure to pay debts is not a crime, and debtors' prisons were abolished some time in the early 1800s.
