Hold on bank account
Date: Sun, 07/14/2019 - 07:13
Hello,
I had an account with walmart that was opened on Oct. 9th 2012. The account was sold to Blitt and Gaines in 2016. I was on a payment plan with them and I had paid down my account to 1,000 dollars. Life happens and I was unable to keep up with the payments. They froze my bank account yesterday; and it was over 3,000 dollars that they had on a hold. I didn't have that money in my account so now my account is frozen and in the negative. I was told I can go to a legal aid lawyer and have it removed due to the accounts age and my privacy rights being violated. Please help

Even I feel that you should
Even I feel that you should consult an attorney as soon as possible. No one can freeze your bank account without the court's permission. They need to file a lawsuit against you, win judgment, and then only can freeze your bank account. Otherwise, they can't legally to do so.
You should call your attorney
You should call your attorney at once, they don't have the authority to freeze your account and hold such a big amount!
