Frozen Bank Account Question

[chinabloo]

Ohio

My husband's Provident Bank checking account has been frozen by Bank One. He had racked up a bunch of OD fees at Bank One and decided to switch banks. Somehow, Bank One got a hold of his account number and froze his funds.

I've done a search on our county clerk of court website and can find no judgment of anything of the sort against my husband for this.

Was it legal for Bank One to do this?

I don't know how Bank One could freeze funds on an account in another bank WITHOUT a judgment, UNLESS, Provident is owned by Bank One.
