I wouldn't think so, because the whole idea of a corporation is that it is a separate entity unto itself. Example: the shareholders/officers of the corporation are not personally liable for the debts of the corporation. Therefore, why would the corporation be liable for the debts of the officers/shareholders?

Can a creditor freeze bank accounts and how long does it take?
A creditor can freeze bank accounts in some instances. Generally, an outside creditor that is not the government can not freeze your personal bank accounts unless they have some court order allowing this. However, if the creditor is also your bank they may have "right of offset" written into their account agreements. This gives them the right to freeze funds or use the funds to offset a delinquent loan or to force the monthly payment. THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR REAL ESTATE LOANS IN "ONE ACTION" STATES SUCH AS CALIFORNIA. In these circumstances a lender is only allowed to do one thing against you to get repayment. If they touch your bank account they loose to option of foreclosure. The IRS may levy your account for taxes owed. The amount of time these things take depends on the situation.

Why would a creditor garnish a bank where I don't have an account?
This begs curiosity as to why you would be aware that the creditor attempted to garnish an account where you have no accounts. Prior to serving garnishment of an account, the creditor will need to know that you do have an account or accounts at the bank. This is typically verified by the legal department or a skip tracer. If no account exists, or if there are no funds available to attach, the creditor will be notified, but there is no reason for a bank to notify you if no account exists. If you have no account at a bank, for all intents, you do not exist to the bank.

Where the account is joint and only one of the account holders is being sued and/or the creditor plaintiff believes the defendant debtor may try to withdraw all the funds the plaintiff can request the court to 'freeze' the account until the suit is settled.
