Why Would a Creditor Freeze Your Bank Account?
There are a few reasons why a creditor might freeze your bank account. One reason is if you have unpaid debts. Your creditors may also freeze your bank account if they suspect that you're about to withdraw money to avoid paying your debts.
Your Rights If Your Bank Account Frozen
The Exempt Income Protection Act (EIP) of 2008 ensures that some funds are held in bank accounts and is protected to ensure individuals have enough funds to pay for their basic needs, such as rent, food, and medicine.
In accordance with the Exempt Income Protection Act ("EIP Act" ):
- 2,500.00 in accounts with reasonably identifiable directly deposited exempt income must remain unrestricted.
- On all other accounts, $1,740.00 cannot be restrained after a private judgment creditor issues a restraining notice.
