Can a credit union freeze your checking account for a past due car loan payment if the contract was to only have a savings account?

Yes. If an individual, or couple has a checking, savings, or other form of deposit account at the same financial institution where they have a debt account (i.e. credit card, auto loan, mortgage, other) there exists a risk of the financial institution invoking its "Right to Offset" the debt account with monies from the asset account. In other words, if an individual for whatever reason fails to make payments on a liability account, the financial institution has the legal right to not only freeze that individuals asset/deposit account, but to also seize any funds available to offset the debt due to that financial institution. A search of the internet shows that smaller, State chartered credit unions seem to invoke the "Right of Offset" far more often than larger banks and financial institutions.
Read "Right of Offset- Protect your Money and Assets" (link below) for more detailed information on this subject, and ideas on how to protect yourself in the future. Also read you credit union member agreement and auto loan application for the specific wording on "Right of Offset" as it pertains to your situation.
