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.
