Unless your wife signed on them as guarantor ( instead of authorized user), the creditors can never go against her to try and collect the debt. Your discharge should end it all.
This is my problem. I am not able to get details.

Anything you own or in your name is subject to the judgments snd liens granted to those creditors. You probably need a lawyer to help you negotiate these out.

The transfers you described are post judgment snd should be easily set aside as fraudulent transfers. You can ask the court in which you obtained judgment to set them aside.
The defendant/ debtor has avoided bank garnishments so far but I have been notified that they have a Zelle, Venmo and Cashapp. Can I finally garnished their account via this method or are there any issues involving this?

No. You would need to try to “pierce the corporate veil.” It is doable but difficult and a new default judgment or complaint would not be effective in so doing.

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. There are two issues: 1) a criminal act of forging someone's signature. 2) your liability (if any) to the creditors. For the first file a police report for identify theft. Contact the Attorney General's office for instructions on your rights... View More
