Title: (PA) Help, My Girlfriend's Bank Account was Frozen and Money Being Deducted From It
Question:This is in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia to be specific.  My girlfriend was away, she works as a traveling entertainer, and when she returned she was greeted by a letter from her bank (Wells Fargo) and was unable to access her funds.  The letter states, 
"We want to let you know that on August 4, 2016, Wells Fargo was served with the enclosed legal order, in the amount of $xx, which requires us by law to deduct money from your account.  As a result, we withdrew $xx from your account on August 4, 2016 and charged a non-refundable processing fee of $xx.  Please be aware we may withdraw money in the future in response to the legal order."

Her other bills are synched with her bank, so she had issues with all of them as well when they tried to pull money from her account.

The subsequent letter, from Philadelphia Municipal Court, has a Writ of Execution directed to the sheriff of Philadelphia County to Satisfy the judgement, interest, and costs against the defendant (my girlfriend) that states,
"1. You are directed to levy upon property of the defendant and to sell dependent's interest therein:
2. You are also directed to attach the property of the defendant not levied upon in the possession of Wells Fargo Bank as garnishee, and all defendants's accounts located at the above address and to notify the garnishee of the following,
(a) an attachment has been issued
(b) the garnishee is enjoined from paying any debt to or for the account of the defendant and from delivering any property of the defendant or otherwise disposing thereof;
(c) the attachment shall not include any funds in an account of the defendant with a bank or other financial institution.
3. If property of the defendant not livid upon and subject to attachment is found in the possession of anyone other than a named garnishee, you are directed to notify such other person that he or she has been added as a garnishee and is enjoined as above stated."

They then attach a Writ of Execution Notice to her stating that the judgment has been issued against her and it may cause her property to be held or taken to pay said judgment.  

After this, a letter entitled Interrogatories to Garnish.  It says she is required to file answers to the following Interrogatories wishing thirty days after service upon you.  Failure to do so may result in judgment against you.  
Are we just supposed to type up responses to these Interrogatories?  Or is this for Wells Fargo Bank to answer as the Garnishee, I guess we are the defendant.  

There is a letter after that titled Writ of Execution notice, it states there is a debtor's exception for $300.  Does anyone know what this is, also, it talks about other exemptions, and one of them is property she owns with another person, and I cosigned on her car.  Should I fill out the claim of exemption, and would that prevent her car from being taken?

There is a Notice to Co-Owner of Attachment of Property.  And that I should file a Petition to Intervene Stay and Set Aside Writ of Execution as aNon-Judgement Debtor Property to File with the Sheriff.  Is that something I should do? Does this include vehicles, and will they be able to repossess her car?

There is then a form called Application to Proceed in Forma Paupers.

It says to the sheriff.

1. My personal property is subject to levy or attachment due to a judgment against another person.
2. Because of my financial condition, I am unable to pay the fees and costs of filing my Property Claim form/Petition to Intervene, Stay and Set Aside Writ of Execution; and to defend my property interests.
3. I am unable to obtain funds from anyone, including my family and associates, to pay the costs of this litigation.  I understand that I have a continuing obligation to inform the Court of improvement in my financial circumstances, which would permit me to pay the costs incurred herein.
4. I verify that the information disclosed on this application and the attached Financial Statement are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.  I understand that false statement herein are made subject..

Is this what we should sign and send back, because this is her current situation for the most part.

Then there is a financial statement.  And a writ of execution.  It never states a court date or anything though.

Sorry for such a long post, I just learned about this, she is going on tour this week, and I want to try to help her to the best that I can.

I intend to go speak to a lawyer, even though she can't afford one, but they're closed until Monday.  Please, if anyone has any advise, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.
Answer #1: Ok, that's a lot of information, but you somehow left out the part about how she incurred the debt and whether she disputes its validity.
