A collection agency has threatened to freeze my account if I don’t pay them within Halloween. Can they do that? Please suggest.




Have they filed a lawsuit against you? They cannot freeze your bank account without a garnishment order. Check if they have a filed a lawsuit against you. Secondly, do you even owe the amount. Giving false threats about lawsuits is illegal.

Always remember that it's not possible to garnish your wages without a valid court order. The collection agencies might threaten you to freeze your accounts but it's impossible without a court judgment.
