Definition of 'Frozen Account'

Investopedia explains 'Frozen Account'

In other words, when your bank account is frozen, it's because you owe money to someone. Any creditor that has a judgment against you can have your bank account frozen. The creditor can actually freeze your account for up to twice the amount you owe. If you receive a notice from your bank stating that your account has been frozen, look for the lawyer and phone number that is listed on the notice. If you didn't receive a notice after your account was frozen, call your bank and ask for the lawyer's name and phone number so you can settle the account.
