Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Connecticut

Exemptions from legal attachments

Ilike to know what are the exemptions from legal attachments petaining to bank accounts whereas the judgement will liquidate all of account holdings thereby causing harm to debtor to be left with no money to conduct normal activities of living. In other words by deleting these funds no money will be left for anything. Debtor is unemployed and funds in account are means of living. How if any can I petition the court for relief? note: these funds are savings and all that is left in his or her name.

Re: Exemptions from legal attachments

The depositor was notified of the attachment by the bank. The papers the bank sent contained court form JD-CV24a, which answers all of your questions. Since you were able to write and file your inquiry, you are able to read and understand the court form.

If the depositor threw the form away or misplaced it, you can access the blank form at this URL:

If you don't have the form the court sent, you will need to contact the bank to find out the date the sent it, because the depositor has to file his response within 15 days to avoid having the bank automatically send the money to the marshal.

For advice beyond that you will need to consult an attorney. You can get a 30-min conference with an attorney qualified in this area, for $25 or so, by contacting Lawyer Referral Service, listed in the Hartford White Pages.
