If the creditor gets a judgment against an incorporated business, then yes.

If the business is a sole proprietorship, then it is a bit more complicated. Certain property of an individual debtor cannot be taken by creditors. This includes money earned for personal services within the past 60 days to support the debtor and his or her family. If that is all that is in the account, then it cannot be levied upon.

The reality is that creditors often take first and ask questions later. Most people don't challenge it because they don't believe that they can afford an attorney. The truth is if a creditor is illegally seizing funds that cannot be taken (or funds that don't even belong to the debtor, for example, if they seize funds belonging to a spouse in a joint account), then the law makes the creditor pay the attorney fee. If this happens to you, do not hesitate to contact a lawyer to find out what your rights are.

No.

No creditor has the right to freeze bank accounts in ANY state. Only the court has the right to rule that an account should be frozen.
