Bank accounts can only be "frozen" by a court order. A lender can request a court to take such action if it can be proven that the debt has plans to remove the funds from such accounts. Bank accounts can also be 'frozen' when they are jointly held so the non debtor account holder can provide documents to the court showing the portion of the funds in the account that belong to them and are exempt from a judgment creditor.
