The procedure varies by state. In California, the account is frozen as soon as the garnishment order is served on the bank. The debtor has 10 days to object or the money will turned over to the sheriff's department for disbursement to the judgment creditor.

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.
Can a bank in New York freeze an account because a law firm sent them a letter that the person is not authorized to open the account without a court judgment and for how long?
Yes. In most cases the court must make a ruling about the validity of the "freeze" within 30 days, or release a suitable portion of the account monies for living expenses of the account holder(s).
Can a bank freeze a new account?
Yes. If the opening deposit is a check, they will probably not let you withdraw very much of it until the check has been accepted by the issuing bank. That could be overnight or a few days if the other bank is in the US, or several days if it is drawn on a foreign bank. If the deposit is a sight draft or other collection item, your account will not even be credited with the deposit until it has been collected. If you open the account with a cash deposit, the funds should be available immediately.

Can a bank freeze all your bank accounts after a repossession?
A bank can take the money you have held in its accounts if you owe it money. Even in a bankruptcy, you need to pull any money out of the banks you owe money to. NO, unless you give them permission to in the contract. I don't rem the term for it,its not vey common. That's why you have to actually READ the fine print in the contract you sign. Unless it is in the contract they can not do it..If they had a judgment that would be a different story. Then what they would have to do is, get a order of execution against the account then they would be able to take they money..actually the court officer would go and take its fee, and then take all the money from your account and freeze the account for 30 days....Bank levy....
