Yes. Presumably the levy was based on a judgment, which could have been obtained on a lawsuit filed within the statute of limitations. The bank is not under an obligation to notify you before levying on your account, but you should have been mailed a copy of the notice of levy. You may be able to have the underlying judgment set aside. Confer with an attorney about the problem.
