How long does it take to un freeze a Bank account ?I went to use my Bank account and found out it was frozen from a debt 2 years ago . I am a bit confused how they can do this without warning . I do owe part of the amount they want ($1301.58) . The original dept was a little over $ 250.00 . I have checks written that have not cleared . We made a deposit today and... |
It will stay frozen until the debt is satisfied.
The creditor sent something called a "writ of garnishment" to your bank with the amount they are owed.
The creditor can only get this from filing paper work at a court if they won a judgment against you in court.
All your checks will bounce until the debt is paid.
I not sure if the people inside the individual branches, like the tellers, will say anything, because I think that info is only available to the collections part of the bank.
I went thru the same thing, but I took my money out just in time when I received a copy of the "writ"
GOOD LUCK
