My Bank Account Has Been Frozen

What You Should Do Next

In New York, if your bank account has been restrained (frozen) it is likely that you were sued and lost, and that a judgment was entered against you. (If you owe a student loan your account may sometimes be restrained without a judgment.)

Unfortunately, it is common for judgments to be entered against consumers without the consumer even knowing that they were sued. This is because the company that sued you may not have properly served you with the legal papers. This is sometimes referred to as “sewer service.” If this happened to you, you should be able to have the judgment “vacated” (wiped out). You are entitled to be properly served with the legal papers.

The first step is to obtain a copy of the entire court file. You should go to the Court that you were sued in and make a copy of the entire file. If you don’t know where you were sued, you can try to ask the people who sued you, or you can try calling the Courts in your area to determine where the case against you was filed.

You should review the file to determine who sued you and for what. You should also determine where the person suing you served the legal papers.

If you think you have been the victim of “sewer service” you should contact a New York debt collection abuse attorney to assist you.
