No, only the bank may access your safe deposit box, and then only after you allow the lease on the box to expire. Once the payment for the box expires, the bank must wait a certain amount of time (this is laid out in the deposit contract and in some state laws) and attempt to contact you to either collect your belongings from the box or renew your contract. After this period elapses, you are considered to have abandoned the box to the bank and the contents become the bank's property. However, if you leave items such as a deed or a title, you still legally own that property - the bank has a piece of paper that says you own that property.

To file a bankruptcy do we input the credit card information or the collection agency information?

The safe way is to enter the credit card issuer information and under "additional parties" or "other notice," enter the collection agency info. The debt may have been sold to a collection agency, in which case the original creditor no longer owns the debt, but the new owner rarely notifies the debtor of the change, even though the law requires it.

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

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.
