Release Frozen Bank Accounts

Unfreeze Your Accounts and Take Control of Your Finances

A creditor who has won a judgment against you may be able to freeze your bank account in order to obtain money to satisfy a debt. Unfortunately, a frozen bank account means that you may not have access to money that you need for rent or mortgage payments, utility bills or other expenses. To make matters worse, you may not even realize that the account has been frozen until you try to purchase something or take money out of an ATM.

At the Law Offices of Nathan Erlich, P.C., we can assist you in releasing your frozen bank account or frozen assets and in resolving the debt issues that led to the freeze. We can also help you stop wage garnishments, harassing phone calls and letters, and other collection activities that are causing you stress and financial problems. Our firm, founded in 1992 in Forest Hills, Queens, is dedicated to helping clients find successful debt relief options.

Contact our firm if you are dealing with a frozen bank account. Speak with a lawyer about your legal issues at a free initial consultation.

Frozen Bank Accounts in New York City

When a creditor obtains a judgment against you, they may serve your bank with papers that require them to hold up to twice the amount of money that was awarded in the judgment. Account freezes can occur because of judgments associated with credit card debt, medical bills, tax debts and other forms of debt. Bank accounts can even be frozen if they are shared with spouses or parents, leaving your loved ones without access to the account as well.

In order to release a frozen bank account, the judgment must be satisfied. One solution is to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which will lift the freeze on your bank account and other assets, and will help you get out from under the burden of debt. Bankruptcy may help you find a fresh financial start and will stop all collection activities against you. Attorney Nathan Erlich has practiced bankruptcy law for more than 20 years and can help guide you through the process.
