Minimum balance required for Levi?

[Teff59]

Hello, I have received notice of a judgement suit against me. As I have no assets and actually on medicaid and foodstamps, the only option the creditor has is to "freeze" my bank account. Is there a minmum amount protected from the lei? I never have more than about $800.00 (from music lessons). _State of Michigan.

The $800 from music lessons is not protected. You would be wise to remove most of that money from the account or close it and pay your bills by money order.
