Which of the following actions could be subject to levy?

  1. Seizing an individual's car for a debt

  2. Summoning a witness to court

  3. Issuing a criminal charge

  4. Transferring ownership of a property

The correct answer is: Seizing an individual's car for a debt

The action that could be subject to levy is the seizure of an individual's car for a debt. A levy is a legal seizure of property to satisfy a judgment or debt. This process allows creditors to take possession of a debtor's property, such as vehicles, bank accounts, or real estate, to recover the amount owed. In many cases, specific procedures must be followed, including obtaining a court order, notifying the debtor, and allowing for any legal exemptions. The other actions listed do not involve a levy. Summoning a witness to court refers to the legal process of requiring a person to attend a court proceeding and does not involve the seizure of property. Issuing a criminal charge involves bringing a formal accusation against someone for a criminal act and is unrelated to the collection of debts. Transferring ownership of a property is a voluntary action and does not pertain to the legal seizure of assets through a levy process, which is specifically concerned with recovering debts owed to creditors.
