Re: Restraining order on bank account

The immediate meaning is that no money may be removed from the account.

There is a further significance: that a civil court action (lawsuit) has been resolved against you and a judgment has been issued for the credit card amount. This is the source of authority for the order attaching you account.

You are welcome to contact me to discuss what can be done about this event.
