HomeCan a collection agency put a lien or levy on your bank account and if not what can be done to get the lien release off of your bank account?
Yes, they can. Sometimes, it is written in your contract you signed that you have given them permission to take payment from your accounts if you aren't paying. Otherwise they have to get a judgement. I believe that the levy will not be released until the account has been paid or you make solid arrangements with the lender.

A collection agency, or any party, can only freeze your bank account IF they have sued your first and won a judgment against you.

The account could remain frozen until the outcome of your bankruptcy. If your bankruptcy, and the judgment debt is discharged, then the bank account must be released. It is possible to release a levy before discharge, but it will usually require the bankruptcy attorney to do it.
