This happens when you fail to pay for your debts on time. However, the creditor can garnish your accounts only after it gets a judgment against you in court. Do you have a judgment? Even after judgment, the creditor cannot garnish any asset immediately. He must send you a notice regarding the garnishment. If you have not received any such intimation, then, I would suggest you to contact a lawyer in this regard.

The bank and or Credit Union can take money from your account if you owe them money. It all depends on what legal documents you signed when you opened the account. If you are overdrawn, have a past due loan etc, they can take the money in order to protect their interest if it is stated in the the original contract. Ask for a copy of what you signed.
