Of course they can. I'm surprised they haven't done it already.

Please note that federal bankruptcy-filing is a very swift, conclusive remedy that stops garnishments immediately. It's a small investment to avoid giving up a quarter of your wages to attachment by the sheriff.

Yes.... your wages can be garnished and your bank account levied. If own real estate then a lien can be filed with the County Recorder's Office. You should consider filing bankruptcy if otherwise eligible. You should consult with a local bankruptcy attorney to get advice regarding bankruptcy.
