SYNCHRONY BANK v. APRIL DANIELS (DC-004705-16)

 SYNCHRONY BANK v. APRIL DANIELS (DC-004705-16)

A levy was placed on a bank account belonging to defendant judgment-debtor. Defendant objected to the levy on the grounds that the only money in the account was from the part of defendant’s wages that were exempt from a wage garnishment. The question presented is whether a levy can be made on money deposited in a bank account from wages that were previously subject to garnishment. Based on the applicable statutes, the court found that previously garnished wages deposited in a bank account does not exempt the money from levy.
