Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania

Attachment to bank account
Back in 2005 I was sued by Wolpoff & Abrahamson (on behalf of Discover). Being stupid I didn't appear (because in big bold letters it tld me I didn't have to). A few months later I got a letter saying they won judgement against me. In August 2006 they attached to my bank account taking everything from my paycheck. After I got a letter saying that they could take my property. This past October they attached to an account that I shared with my mother. There was no money in the account, so it's in the negative. i was told by the bank that it will go into collections in 3 months, and every dollar I pay towards the bank collection and they will pay the lawyers. My question is, can they try to keep attaching to accounts since I'm technically paying the bank collections? I mean why should I have to pay the bank $3000 and then another $3000 to the lawyer when I don't even owe that much. Also, the amount the lawyers attached to the banks is almost $1000 more than what they sent me in a letter saying I owed them. Can they do this?

Re: Attachment to bank account

This is something of a complicated situation. You should discuss this with an attorney in your area that defends collection cases.
