What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO

Collection attorney garnished my bank account for an old judgement that I had forgotten about. I went directly to the court and paid the amount in full.

Collection attorney refused to release the garnishment and/or file a satisfaction of judgement until they received the money from the court. Casenet already shows a check issued to them.

I filed a request for satisfaction of judgement and the Judge has now signed off on it.

I faxed a copy of this to the bank (Bank of America). They are telling me that they have to get a release from the Collection Attorney.

What are my options now? The bank doesn't have to honor a signed court document? How long can the Collection attorney drag his feet on this.

I need my accounts released.
