A: Not quite enough information to answer your questions. You need to ask the bank very specifically about the details of the debt. If your daughter is an adult she needs to contact the bank also. Whose money was taken? Hers or yours. What kind of debt did you have with this bank in your prior case? There are other questions too numberous to get into in this email.
A: That is likely a garnishment based on a prior Judgment. If the Judgment occurred after the bankruptcy discharge it may still be recoverable by the creditor. However, if this debt was, for certain, from a discharged creditor, then I urge you to contact a FDCPA lawyer to protect your legal rights.
