What is the name of your state? Iowa
After I was terminated in my employment by an international railroad terminal business named CANAC, in Henderson, Nevada, two of my back paychecks "bounced" due to insufficient funds. As I had deposited those two checks in my bank account and had received cash-back, the bank placed a lien on any bank accounts. I tried to pursue a reimbursement through the Nevada state Labor Commission in Las Vegas, Nevada, who ruled in my favor but shelved the claim because "You cannot make an employer repay a bounced check unless they refuse." But CANAC is a British company headquartered in Toronto Canada, with main offices in Michigan and operating offices in Texas, and I was hired by one of their corporations, employed by another of their corporations, paid for my employment by another corporation (a shell game of thirteen corporations, all in Michigan) and since nobody could contact the "employer", the bank where my cheque account was issued a lien on banking accounts.
When I lived in Missouri, there was a minimum amount of $400 a bank account could not be garnished for. I cannot find any information about Iowa garnishment protection. Although I sympathise with the bank I deposited my two bounced payroll checks into, I am not going to reimburse them for pay I did not receive, and there was no recourse (even through the ACLU) in Nevada to recover the funds and make the deposits good with my former bank. Both US and Nevada senators and representatives/assemblymen refused to assist me.
