Can a collection company freeze bank accounts that contain disability pension and social security checks in Pennsylvania?

Answer:

Answer

A collection agency cannot seize a bank account period. ALL SS benefits are exempt from creditors. A collection agency cannot threaten to take your property nor do they have the power to do so. They can inform you that the account is being referred to a collection attorney who can pursue legal action. Be that as it may, your bank accounts are safe. You can inform the agency and the bank in no uncertain terms if they attempt such an action, you are prepared to sue for damages. The only way to stop collection bullies, is to play offense not defense.
