Can your social security disability be frozen to pay a collection agency?
TimBryant
Absolutely not!!!! A collection agency has no kind of authority to touch anyone's social security disability benefits. Or anything else. Scare tactics, empty threats are all a debt collection can do. If u dont want to pay a bill, thats the consumer's choice, not those fools!!

If a bank account of mine has been frozen for debt collection can you open a new account in a different state without it being frozen?
Typically any bank account you open will have your social security number on it, which is how your debts are listed, which is how any new account you open will be frozen also. It doesn't matter where you are (at least in the US), it will happen, especially if it is a debt to the IRS. You may want to talk to an attorney if you need to open an account.
Can my personal property be seized if my only source of income is Social Security and Veteran's Disability benefits?
Social Security and disability benefits are exempt by federal law from garnishment by judgment creditors. It is very important that the debtor does not commingled exempt funds with non exempt funds to avoid the possiblity of the account being "frozen" by the court until the issue is resolved. A judgment creditor can, however, seize any other non exempted personal property such as bonds, stocks, etc. or place a lien against real property belonging to the debtor.
