QUESTION
I have been served with a Writ of Garnishment. My bank accounts have had the money placed on hold.
Asked on Oct 12th, 2020 on Debtor and Creditor - Florida
More details to this question:
I was living in Cooper City in a home that I rented. I was living in the home back in 09. I lost my employment and was unemployed for several months. I was unable to pay the rent for about a period of 3 months. I just found out recently that my bank account was placed on hold. I was never aware that the prior landlord had gone to this extreme as far as suing me. Do I have any rights? I need to get my accounts released in order to pay my bills. I need some advise as far as what direction I may be able to take.

Unfortunately, you will need to hire a laywer, at some out of pcket expense, to help you address the garnishment issue. There are no shortcuts and the starting point is there is a valid judgment and you will lose money to the creditor because you owe it legally, absent some legitimate exemption or the judgment beoing overturned by the court.
