What is the name of your state? Joe, Illinois
Hello Everyone:
I_m new to the board, and hoping someone can provide support/next steps/guidance. I believe this is posted in the correct forum.
Background:
June 2006, my fiancée attempted to withdraw funds from her account, and could not. She called the bank who indicated her account was frozen, and they gave her the name of the law firm to contact for more information.
The law firm indicated that due to past balances, creditors have asked for their money, which led to her account being frozen. They indicated that she had charges in New Jersey.
The company she worked for had a helpful attorney, who arranged a meeting with a judge last summer. My fiancée indicated that she resides in Illinois, and did not make those charges (basically, wasn't her).
Results:
A motion was set to unfreeze her account in December 2006. It was unfrozen for 2 weeks, and then more allegations came against her account, and was frozen once again.
The first week of April 2007, she met with the judge and attorney. I believe the action plan was: send motion to unfreeze her acct > paperwork sent to bank > acct is open
The judge indicated her account should be accessible in 4 wks. It_s been about 8 weeks and her account is still frozen. Her bank's legal team will only speak with my fiancee's attorney. Unfortunately, the attorney has her own personal problems and hasn't returned a phone call to us in the past 2 weeks.
Help:
The emotional/mental strain this has had on us is impossible measure. It seems like we are always told we will hear back in a couple weeks, which leads to months, and now going onto a year. Can someone please indicate possible next steps, or someone to call.
Thanks,
Joe
