In California, a levy is a legal tool used to collect a debt by freezing or seizing funds from a bank account, subject to exemptions and procedural requirements.
The levy process typically involves notification, a temporary freeze, possible exemptions, negotiations, and, if needed, court intervention to lift or modify the levy.
Common terms you will encounter include notice of levy, writ of levy, exemption, and release.
A notice of levy is a formal document sent to you and your bank directing the freeze or seizure of funds to satisfy a judgment.
A writ of levy is the court order that authorizes the bank to place a levy on funds up to the owed amount.

Options include negotiating with the creditor, requesting a release, filing exemptions, or challenging the levy in court, depending on your situation.
