It is possible for the collection agency to put a lien on your bank account. Before they can do this, they must go through the proper procedures first.

What do you do to get your money back when a collection agency put a lien on your bank account?

It is assumed the creditor won a lawsuit against you and the court issued a judgment lien. You should have had notice of the hearing and received a letter of judgment against you from the court. You must pay off the lien in exchange for a release of the lien. You may also go to court to challenge the validity of the lien, the lien amount or raise any other matter that might affect the legality of the lien. When a collection agency first puts a lien on a bank account. The bank usually may not give those funds to the collection agency immediately. Notice of the lien is given to the debtor, who then has a short time period to apply to the court to object to the turn over of the bank account to the agency. If an objection is made, the bank will not give over the money until the court rules on the objections and issues an order directing the bank to pay all, some or none of the bank funds to the agency. If no action is taken by the debtor within that time period, the bank may turn the money over to the agency without a court order. See related link.


Can a collection agency put a lien or levy on your bank account and if not what can be done to get the lien release off of your bank account?

Yes, they can. Sometimes, it is written in your contract you signed that you have given them permission to take payment from your accounts if you aren't paying. Otherwise they have to get a judgement. I believe that the levy will not be released until the account has been paid or you make solid arrangements with the lender.


Can a collection agency put a lien on your car or home when you returned the rental property over 3 years ago?

A collection agency doesn't have the power to do anything other that aggravate you. They can with the agreement of the original creditor turn your account over to a collection attorney. The answer to your question is NO! For the amount in question it would be a small claims court judgment (if they got one). I assume there was an outstanding balance on the rental They might be able to get a wage or bank account garnishment. But that too is questionable. If anyone from a collection agency has told you they can place a lien against your property. They are in violation of the FDCL and could be fined or sued for their actions.

How do you file a lien on a bank account for child support in Missouri?

To file a lien on a bank account for child support in Missouri, you typically need to obtain a court order that establishes the amount owed. Once you have the court order, you can file a Notice of Lien with the county recorder's office where the debtor resides or where the property is located. It's advisable to work with the Child Support Enforcement agency or an attorney to ensure compliance with state laws and to facilitate the process effectively. After filing, you may need to notify the bank to enforce the lien against the debtor's account.
