HOW TO BEAT A BANK LEVY AGAINST ANYONE IN THE WORLD

If you can prevent any creditor from levying against your bank account, you should. I don't care if you think you owe, you should always retain control of when or if you ever decide to pay any creditor, not have it taken from you like some child being punished. The following explains how to do it.
There are of course many variations to this and no doubt you will figure them out for yourself once you see how easily this works. But here are the basics. You want to receive money in the name of a third party, that you control. The ideal structure for this, that will not change your tax situation, is the limited liability company, in any of the fifty states.
How is this accomplished when your employer has to pay you in your legal name? How is this accomplished when the payment can only be made in your legal name? The simplest way is to find a nominee (someone who can act in your behalf using his own name with no power of attorney) who can be the signer for you on a company bank account. You can be the signer, but it's much more certain if you have a nominee do it for you. The nominee should be someone who is of legal age but young enough not to be involved in any collection problems of his or her own. It can also be someone who is old enough that he won't care what you use his name for, and trusts you, and also does not have any collection situations pending.
Once the account is opened, the nominee will give you total control over all of the account management functions, even though he or she can walk into the bank with photo identification and close the account, you will not be keeping much cash at all as the account is only for clearing funds. And I'm assuming this is someone with whom you have mutual trust.
The first step is to have the nominee register an LLC with the secretary of state in the state where the bank account will be opened, preferably where the nominee resides (is a resident). Use a company name that sounds like a company, not the individual's name for whom it will be used. At the time the LLC is registered, the nominee should name himself as the organizer, sole owner/member and the registered agent, using his home address (or a mail box) as the address for the registered agent function.
The nominee should then apply for an EIN from the IRS's official website at this URL:

Along with, or soon after the company is registered (but before the bank account is opened), the nominee should include a fictitious name registration. In some states, this is known as a “dba or doing business as” designation or “assumed name”. The applicant is the LLC, using its name, and the fictitious name should be the exact legal name of the individual for whom the nominee is acting. For example, if “Bill M. Smith” needs to clear checks via a bank account and avoid a levy, the company might be called XYZ Company, LLC and it is doing business as “BILL M. SMITH”. This is different than the human being known as Bill M. Smith, but will enable checks and even direct deposits to be made to BILL M. SMITH, in the company account and no one will care one bit.
Once you have your LLC registration and fictitious name registration, have the nominee go to the bank and open an LLC bank account, with the nominee as the signer, so that the bank account title shows “XYX COMPANY, LLC DBA BILL M. SMITH” for example. Because the nominee is not the interest party, it's not his money, he will need to give you all of the documents and access to the account and a signature stamp with hand-written authorization in red or blue ink, stating the following:
“I [signer], hereby authorize the use of my signature, on this date, _________, for the limited purpose of operating and managing the corporate banking account for which I am a signer, and for no other purpose, and only for purposes that are not prohibited by law. This authorization shall expire within one year following the date of this statement unless otherwise extended by me in writing.”
Keep this stamp and its authorization in a safe and secure place.
Any checks made payable to Bill M. Smith can then be cleared (deposited) into this company account and then the funds can be transferred however Bill Smith prefers. The same works for direct deposits, just notify the payroll function of the company remitting paychecks that the payee has a new bank account and give the individual's same name “Bill M. Smith”, for example, and then the bank name, account information and routing number, and new authorization or whatever else is required, and it will be business as usual. The same can be done with a merchant account.
Do not file a tax return for this LLC because it's being used as a “tax flow-through” structure, just clear the funds and move them without leaving lots of cash in the LLC bank account.
The only levy that this does not stop is garnishments at the source, before the check is disbursed to the payee. That takes a different strategy which is too lengthy for me to explain here, but it is possible to prevent nearly every wage garnishment with a strategy that takes about ninety days to organize.
This process I just explained will prevent bank levies from literally anyone in the world, unless the levy is against the LLC itself.
