collection agency freeze bank account?

I just found out on Friday evening that my account has been frozen by a collection agency. I am disabled and my funds are suppose to be exempt from collect. What to do?

Contact the court.

I had a bank account in VA and moved to Maine, when my unemployment discontinued, it overdrew my account in VA. I am currently waiting on student loan money to pay the bank in VA, but received a call from them, and advised them that within the next week I will have my loan money and will be able to pay them, somewhere around $400. Well, the lady advised me that I needed to 'secure' a payment, and when I stated I was a full time unemployed student relying on my student loans, she advised me that I was 'refusing' to pay the debt, which I was not, and then advised me that it would be hard to get my student loan money when they freeze my bank account here in Maine. Are they allowed to do that? I never once said I was not going to pay. I have never heard of another bank freezing an account in a different bank in a different state. I still intend to pay them, but now I am concerned about my account being frozen. Can they do this? And if they can, do they have to notify me by mail? I used to work for a bank doing levy's, and the customer had to me notified by mail that this account was going to be leved. Any answers or advice?

For my understanding, you have balance in your overdraft account in VA, then moved to Maine. Maybe there was a summons sent to your VA address that you do not know. So they get a VA court order to freeze your bank account. How do they know you have an account in Maine? Have you sent Maine checks to them?

When they got VA court order, the order should be no power in Maine. Am correct?
