A company tried to collect on an old credit card account. The statute of limitations for this card has ran out. Can the company seize my bank account or my Social Security payments.

Well, they can sue. You must respond and use the SOL defense in court. (to attach bank account, they must win in court and get a judgment against you. They can not garnish social security checks directly. Mingled funds in a checking account is a different story)

send them a cease and desist letter via certified mail if SOL is over. They cant take money without suing, and they cant do that anymore.
