I think this bill should pass. I am disabilied and receive direct deposit of my funds. This year alone, my bank account has been frozen for debts occured before I became disabled and have been unable to satisfy. Please past this bill. The collection activities of many collection agencies have gotten out of hand. It is not unusual for my account to become restricted without any prior notice of any kind. Please, please pass this bill. So many of us need it...desperately.

I'm not on social security, it doesn't matter what age you are my bank froze my account 2 days before Christmas and gave $3500 to my creditor leaving me penniless to buy food for my family. This is all over a credit card swiping machine. Is it worth me losing my home, getting my lights turned off with my heat. My bank, Bank Of America set me up real nice, these are the actions of a dictatorship when you can freeze a persons way of survival for a credit card machine. We are not this hard on did beat dads that won't care for another human being. The punishment doesn't fit the situation. Let's ban against this mess DELVAR@DELVARSL.COM
