Can a creditor put a freeze on your bank account?

No.

No creditor has the right to freeze a bank account - only the court has the right to do so.

Now, if a bank account or any asset with value has been offered as security to the lender, then it is possible that the lender may seek a legal remedy to obtain the asset, however, that remedy is conducted through a civil suit. If the court finds the lender to be in the right, they will rule as judging against the defendant(s) and will provide legal recourse to the lender to obtain an appropriate settlement (but the lender still cannot freeze an account).

A bank account can only be frozen by the court in which a suit has been filed against the account holder. The reason for this is to prevent the debtor from removing monies from the account, closing the account or transferring ownership of said account. Accounts that are allowed to be held as TBE by married couples cannot be levied if only one spouse is a debtor. (TBE accounts are not available in all US states and none are allowed in community property states).

Can a credit card company put a lien against you?

How does a collection agency make money?

Collection agencies have sliding scales for costs typically. Say 100 accounts come into the agency on the first of the month. On these, 100 letters will be sent out notifying the debtors that the accounts are in collections. Of these, roughly 30% will pay immediately. These accounts usually generate 20% commission, that 20% of the amount paid goes to the collection agency. There are 70 accounts remaining. These will require a phone call. So, 70 calls are made, and of these another 30% will pay. That's 21 accounts, and these usually commission for about 33.3% or one third of the amount collected. There are 49 accounts left, and for one reason or another letters did not work or were returned for bad addresses, telephone contact could not be made, or the debtor just refused to cooperate, and the accounts were turned over for skip tracing. Once a skip tracer touches an account, the commission jumps to 50% or more, and this is where the collections agencies really start to mount costs. Skip Tracer activity results in a variety of actions. From simple location, to location of assets and property for the intent of legal action. Most skip tracers are competent enough to find people. The really good ones find everything.

How does paying off a charge off affect your credit?

Usually, once a company charges off a debt, they will send the unsavory transaction to the credit bureaus, lowering one's credit score.

Even if that individual pays the charge-off, the damage is done insomuch as the lender rarely sends an updated message indicating that the debt was paid.

If you paid the charge-off, you may dispute the transaction line (by having a note added to the line that states that the debt was paid on a particular date), however, you DID allow the debt to get charged off, so that line will only go away after seven (7) years.
