How do I unfreeze a bank account frozen by a credit card collection agency?

You will need to go to court to do this. There should be a case open if they were able to freeze the account.

There hasn't been debtor's prison in the United States since the Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1789. That does not apply to child support and fines which are special types of debts. Therefore, you can not be incarcerated for owing money to a bank. One option to get out of debt is bankruptcy Chapters 7 or 13 depending on your income and other issues.

What should I do if I don't want my car repossessed?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
One thing I can guess happened is that you did not execute and caused to be filed a reaffirmation agreement on time or at all. Your car lender may be able to repossess even if you are current with your payments if the purchase agreement you signed says that they can declare your loan in default if you file for bankruptcy protection or words to that effect because the 2005 amendments changed the law. After those amendments, Chapter 7 debtors must execute a reaffirmation agreement on time as required by the law. If they do not, Bankruptcy Law allows the provision in the contract that says that bankruptcy is an event of default to be enforced. You need to review your original purchase agreement to see if the car lender is within its rights.
