How long can debt collectors keep your bank account frozen?

Answer:

Answer

Debt collectors cannot "freeze" a person's bank account, that can only be done by order of the court. Generally a court will hold the account no longer than 30 days when making a decision as to what if any of the funds contained are subject to a judgment creditor levy.
