No creditor has the right to freeze a bank account - only the court has the right to do so.
Now, if a bank account or any asset with value has been offered as security to the lender, then it is possible that the lender may seek a legal remedy to obtain the asset, however, that remedy is conducted through a civil suit. If the court finds the lender to be in the right, they will rule as judging against the defendant(s) and will provide legal recourse to the lender to obtain an appropriate settlement (but the lender still cannot freeze an account).
A bank account can only be frozen by the court in which a suit has been filed against the account holder. The reason for this is to prevent the debtor from removing monies from the account, closing the account or transferring ownership of said account. Accounts that are allowed to be held as TBE by married couples cannot be levied if only one spouse is a debtor. (TBE accounts are not available in all US states and none are allowed in community property states).

Can a credit card company authorize your bank to put a freeze on your money?
No, but if a creditor decides to sue the debtor, the legal counsel can request that the court have a bank account "frozen" until the case is heard or until a ruling is made on the ownership and/or exemption status of the funds in the account. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only a Judge can do this.

Can a creditor levy your bank account in Texas and how do they find your bank account?
Yes your bank account can be levied for a credit card debt in texas. They CANNOT garnish your wages but they can levy your bank account if they sue you and get a default judgement. I found this out the hard way. My husband had stopped paying on a credit card in 2006 and we received a notice 12/2009 that they were suing him but was not aware of what they could really do besides put it on his credit. They froze every account with his name and social attached to it.
What can happen if you choose to stop paying your credit cards in Texas?
Previous answer: "Anytime you borrow money and do not repay it, the creditor can sue you and obtaine a judgment. Once the creditor has a judgment, there are many ways to collection such as freezing your bank account, putting a lien on your home and garnishing your wages." In addition: However, in Texas, a credit card company CANNOT put a lien on your home or garnish your wages. Other states, yes--not here in Texas. They can, as said, sue you and obtain a judgment (but make SURE you attend if they are suing you past the statute of limitations (which in Texas, I believe, is 4 years) because you need to show up to answer with the fact that the statute has run--if you don't, they get the judgment...but I digress). Anyway, they can sue you and they can freeze your bank account; so make darn sure you don't have one they can freeze. I'm not sure about this, but I don't think they can freeze a bank account that is in your name and another's name that is not a signer on the card--might want to check into that. If any of this is incorrect for Texas, chime in!

A bank account can be garnished by one creditor at a time. Levies on bank accounts remain until the debt is paid in full. They can put a "freeze" on your bank acct everyday if they want.

If a freeze was put on your checking account because of a debt how long after you pay it will the freeze be taken off?
A bank account can only be seized by the excution of a judgment writ by the court. The funds can usually be held for a maximum of thirty days, for a ruling to be made on the amount that can be taken. If the debt is paid in full, the account should be reactivated within a reasonable time, generally 2 business days. Unless the account could be used as an offset for monies owed the bank where the account is held. The bank can then claim the entire amount in the account and future deposits to pay the debt.
