Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia
Third party collection agency
I received a summons from a third party collection agency. I did not respond to the summons. Can they freeze my account and take money without notification?

Re: Third party collection agency
Usually when you fail to respon to a court summons, you lose a case with no further notice. Once they get their judgment, they can garnishee a bank account or paycheck without advance warning. In such situations, bankruptcy may be an option to protect you. Contact me for more details on that option if you are near metro Atlanta.
