Hi all,
I have a client who had 4 bank accounts levied 48 hours prior to
bankruptcy to the tune of $9000. I have sent demand letters to the creditor and the
sheriff's department with no luck. Wells Fargo is still in possession ofthe funds but they are holding it until the bankruptcy discharge order
comes through. At that point they intend to send the levied funds to theSheriff unless they get a court order, a letter from the creditor who asked for
the levy, or a letter from the Sheriff's Dept releasing the levy.
Unfortunately, this is a zero asset case so the trustee has no skin in the game to
force a turnover due to the fact it was a preferential transfer.
Question - how reverse this levy without the trustee asserting 11 USC 547(b)?? Can the debtor assert preferential transfer instead of the trusteeor is the client doomed to lose $9000 without the trustee litigating for
return of the money?
