Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

Bank freeze

I was evicted from apt in NY and court has ordered me to pay $3000 plus the accumulated interest. The plaintiff's lawyer freezed my bank account for more than a year. In the meantime, I have quit my job and moved to another state. My question is can they freeze my bank account in another state? I'm not paying them because they kept $500 plus house hold items worth $400 which plaintiff kept when I was evicted. I have contacted their lawyer many times but they're refusing to acknowledge the fact that they do owe me that money. $500 was co-op apt's moving in fee. I need some help please. Thank you.

Re: Bank freeze

The fact that the court ordered you to pay $3000 plus interest is the important thing. You do not have the right to amend what the court found (you do have the right not to pay-but they have the right to try to enforce the court's Order (or judgment) without your cooperation.

The time to have complained about the monies they kept was then, not now.
