I have never heard of them putting a lein on a car either. However, they will garnish a savings account unless it is social security benefit You will need to let the bank know if it is a social security benefit so that they can stop it from being garnished.

Get a copy fro the ss offices showing that these are ss benefits (unless you have direct deposit then that should be proof enough for the bank) and go to the bank yourself. Make sure this is only ss benefits because if you deposit other monies it could make it so that they can attach. I also have never heard of anyone but a bank putting a lein on a car.

Hi jena,

Welcome to the forums.

I guess the credit card company cannot garnish your social security income. And, the reverse mortgage doesn't have anything to do with it. Please refer to http://www.mortgagefit.com/credit-card/lien-socialsecurity.html#49849 .

Take Care

Hi cindy,

As far as I know, social security income is exempt from garnishment. You will have to speak to the lender regarding this. You can even consult a lawyer who will speak to the lender on your behalf.

Thanks

Welcome KEDDIEWHY,

As far as I know, no one can place lien on social security income. You can contact your lawyer and he will be the best person to help you out.

A collection will not be able to place a lien on your social security income. However, they can always place lien on your savings account.

Yes, and I am assuming that the lien would be against your Mom's SS - is that right? As long as she is on the account, the cc company can attach.
