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.

If a collection agency freezes your bank account and on the next day you file for bankruptcy can they still freeze your money?
A collection agency, or any party, can only freeze your bank account IF they have sued your first and won a judgment against you. If you file for bankruptcy, it will not immediately release the levy on the account. The court that rendered the judgment must be notified of the bankruptcy filing, as well as the judgment creditor. 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.
