How long may a bank account be attached when sufficient funds to cover the debt were in the account from the date of attachment?

Hello Lucille:

Sounds like nobody is doing anything, and you're waiting for some sort of time limit to expire so that somebody will do something.

I don't think there is a time limit. I think if the creditor got their money, their not interested in doing anything more. Your bank isn't going to do anything on its own. I think you need to start the process by asking your bank.

If that doesn't work, you need to file a "satisfaction of judgment" in your case and present that to the bank. Actually, the creditor needs to file it, and you need to prod them into doing so.

Check with your state office that handles consumer debt.
Laws vary from state to state.
