What is the name of your state? CA

How do I find a bank account to levy?

Well, this may not be easy, but probably the easiest way to get bank information is to send the debtor a set of interrogatories. These are basically a set of questions that they MUST answer or they're in contempt of court and could be arrested. In these interrogatories, you're allowed to ask for just about anything, including revealing where bank accounts are, what the account numbers are and how much $$ is in them. You also get to ask about any other assets the person may have.

The interrogatories must be formatted and filed according to your state's laws.

Once you have that information, you get a writ from the court to levy the bank account(s).

Ban Account Levy

Once the person knows that I have his bank account information, he would empty the account. Is there any other way that I can find out without the person knowing?

You'd have to do an asset search which may or may not turn up bank accounts. You can get lots of information by searching public records using sites like KnowX.com.

Have you ever gotten a check from this person ?

Does this person work ? You can get a writ of garnishment and he/she wouldn't know it was coming until it was too late.

Perhaps JetX will contribute his knowledge here - he collects on judgments for a living !!

So basically it's nearly impossible to find a checking account without any knowledge of where the person might be banking?
