A credit card company cannot freeze your bank account. However, it can sue you in court for any overdue balance. If the credit card company is successful, the court will issue a judgment lien that the creditor can use to freeze your bank account and seize any money you have on deposit. In fact, the judgment lien can be used to seize any assets you own to satisfy the lien.

Yes, that is the way a garnishment works. When the credit card company sues you for non-payment of debt, they win a judgment. The judgment can be a garnish on your paycheck or your bank account. It makes no difference who you have a bank account with if they were awarded the garnishment by court.

Can they freeze your bank account for credit card debt in New Jersey?
Only a court of law by issuance of a Order of Garnishment or Levy can freeze a bank account. Any credit card company or debt collector making such threats are breaking the law, and you're entitled to damanges for their actions. I would google "FDCPA attorney new jersey" and get paid! I have no respect for a collector or agency that breaks the laws and lies to debtors!
