Can the IRS levy bank accounts in Delaware?
Of course. Why would you possibly even question that the Federal government couldn't do something anywhere in the country? Especially something anyone can do? The IRS can levy a bank account anywhere within the US.
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.

Can IRS take unemployment money from bank account?
IRS can take whatever they want as long as they have the judgement or proper lien papaerwork filed. They are amazingly efficient when it comes to attaching liens and they gooble up bank accounts like pacman. Put the account in trust for someone else and you be the custodian. Solves that issue. Forget having a bank account if you owe the IRS.
Why would the IRS levy a bank account?
The IRS would levy a bank account if the bank account holder had not paid his or her taxes. However, the IRS wouldn't do this unless they had exhausted all other means to collect. They would first send the taxpayer a notice that taxes had been assessed and demand payment. It the taxpayer ignored this notice the IRS would send another notice letting the taxpayer know it was their intention to levy his or her bank account, or other property. This would be sent 30 days before they actually levied the account. Don't ignore letters from the IRS!!

Can the IRS freeze your checking account if you owe them money?
I don't believe so. They will make sure they get paid by garnishing your wages though. Hope this helps a little. The IRS can issue a Notice of Levy to your bank. It doesn't "freeze" your bank accounts, per se. What it does is require the bank to turn over any money that is in your bank account at the moment the Notice of Levy is received. Any money you deposit after the Notice of Levy is received remains yours, the IRS only gets what was there when the bank got the notice. Banks are required to hold that money aside for 21 days, and then turn it over to the IRS. This means that you have a 21 day window to convince the IRS to release the levy, and if you can get them to do that the bank will return the money to your account. After the 21st day the bank sends the money to the IRS -- at that point it is almost impossible to get your money back, so act quickly!

How do the police freeze bank accounts?
The person seeking the recovery of money owed must file a lawsuit in the proper court of venue. If they win they will be awarded a writ of judgment which in most states can be used to garnish the debtor/defendant's bank account. Be advised that in many states a judgment cannot be enforced against marital and/or joint accounts. If the winning plaintiff tries to execute the judgment against any exempt property owned only by the debtor or jointly owned he/she may end up on the "wrong side" of a lawsuit.

What kind of bank accounts do millionares use or which bank do they use?
Well if I was a millionaire, I would be using an "off-shore" bank account in a country that is tax free and which did not have to report the contents of my bank account to the tax department in my country (IRS or Receiver of Revenue). That's why banks in the Isle of Man, Switzerland, Isle of Jersey and the Cayman Isles are so popular with wealthy people ;)
