    Default Garnishment of Accounts by Debt Collectors

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: SC
    Before Debt Collectors have a chance to dip into your bank account and freeze it, do they have to have a court hearing? If they just sever papers to my bank, who can I sue?

    Once they have a judgement (which was your chance to go to court to protest it), they papers they are serving are as a result of the judgement. They don't need a separate hearing on the levy itself.

    They cant "dip into your bank account"(without your permission) or "freeze it" unless a judge tells them that they can. So a hearing has already taken place if that has happened.
