Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Frozen Bank Account

My bank account has been frozen due to an unpaid bill ($475.00). The reason for the freeze (according to the company) is because of a judgement against me. Now they say I owe over $900.00 for attorneys fees and court costs and the original bill. The problem is that the court date isn't until April 4. So my question is, can they freeze my account without a judgement being rendered against me yet?

Re: Frozen Bank Account

It is possible that they got a pre-judgment attachment in order to prevent you from dissipating your assets while the case is pending, but that seems like overkill in a $450 case.
