Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania
Bankruptcy and my bank account
I had my checking account frozen by a law firm representing a creditor who had a judgement against me on thursday. I filed bankruptcy on friday. How long do they have to unfreeze my account? I have heard up to 30 days and then i have heard immediately once they have notice that i filed. I faxed the proff of my filing to them on Friday. I don't have a lawyer helping me. What shoud i do to get my account unfrozen and access to my money?

The automatic stay goes into effect immediately. Your account should be unfrozen as soon as your bank verifies that the stay is in effect.
