Just make sure NOTHING else goes into her bank account other than her SS money, otherwise they can.

Re: Discover will make a mistake with me

If they do get a judgment they can try to levy her bank account.  If it did happen your mom would have to prove only her SS money went into the account.  I think it would have to go back 2 years.  Then they would have to return her money.

 

It does happen all the time.

 

But that is putting the cart before the horse so to speak.  First they have to get a judgment in order to even get a levy.  Then there would be notice and you could notify the bank well before it happened.

 

Something similar happened to my mom on a car loan.  When I called the bank I told them she only drew SS and they told me flat out, we can't touch that.
