What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ca. I have a judgment against a tenant for damages to an apt. I knew the tenant's banking info from a check they wrote to me. After thier appeal time has went by I obtained a writ of execution , took this to sheriff to levy thier account. Writ was returned unsatisfied . Only comment bank made was (Funds under personal exemption for exempt funds) . From what I understood the way a levy works is the bank would freeze the account then the account holder would file with the court a claim of exemption . Then i would file a opposition to claim of exemption and we would have a hearing to determine if funds are exempt. Did the bank screw up? Can someone just say the are exempt? I asked legal aid and it is beyond thier scope. Any help would be appreciated.
