As long it's not the same bank where you owe the money and there is no judgment.

No they cannot touch your bank account

If they first get a court judgment against you, they can garnish bank accounts and paychecks.

They can, but it's not as easy as that. In order to be able to garnish your wages, the credit card company will need to sue you and win. The judge can then order you pay back the debt through wage garnishment. By the way, I would get in front of this now. There are no important bills and unimportant bills. There are just debts. The creditors don't care that you intend to pay them. They just want some money. See if you can settle this.
