Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Can debt collector freeze spouses account?

I had send a debt collector a check from my spouses account (I'm not on that one).

Can a debt collector, if he wins a judgement, freeze my spouses account, or only a bank account, that my name is on also?

No, your prospective judgment creditor cannot "freeze" or seize funds from an account only in your spouse's name who is also not named in the judgment as a defendant.
