Judgment levied against me and bank accounts frozen.:
A judgment was levied against me and as a result my bank accounts were frozen. First, I was never given notice to answer the judgment prior to it being levied. Second, how do I go about getting the bank accounts unfrozen. I do not have enough money to pay the judgment but I am more than happy to make payment arrangements. The collector of the debt, a law firm claims that they are not willing to do anything unless I satisfy the judgment.

Once a judgment is entered against you, the judgment creditor--the plaintiff who sued you--isn't required to give you any additional notice before an attachment is served, and isn't required to work out a payment plan with you. About the only ways you can get the accounts unfrozen are:
1. Work out a deal with the judgment creditor (which you said it was unwilling to do); 2. Pay the judgment in full; or 3. File for bankruptcy.
