How can I get my income directly to my bank account?

Can credit cards that I owe money to and they get a judgment on me attach my bank account when I'm on disability and that's my only income?

• Answer:

  I'll assume you are speaking of a disability check from the United States government. Typically those cannot be attached. However, and it may be a hair split, if that check is deposited in a bank, the bank account might be susceptible to an attachement. You should consult an attorney specific to your state and see what he says. Or, if you are vey concerned, you can simply have your check sent to you, and cash it at a check cashing place. There is a modest fee, usually a dollar or so, but that is better than losing all.
