(4,880 posts)due to a very old judgement for a credit card debt---
however, since Social Security income is exempt from such judgements,
and all the money came from there over the past 3 months,
after some research I have hopes of getting it back....
(and this was unusual--- I've had that old judgement hanging over my head for many years,
but it was for more money than I've had in my bank account---
there were several attempts to garnish money from my bank,
for the entire amount due, but my bank previously always rejected the attempts,
and returned them to the creditor as "funds not available"---)
but this morning, I found my entire savings account emptied, $1250.01...
which I was saving up to pay up back property taxes....
My checking account was not touched,
but I transferred a little too much money to savings,
trying to avoid spending and pay these back taxes....
I am looking into poverty-based legal representation, should it come to that
but I think my bank made a legal mistake allowing this
