I have a child on the way, and because of circumstance
this recent happening is putting me in more danger.
Out of the blue a collections attorney got a court order
to clear my citibank checkings and savings account $9,000.
The accounts are frozen.
I tried opening a new account at another bank, but my name
is now blacklisted and I can't even deposit my pay checks.
Anything I can do?

See an attorney. If you can't afford one, try a legal aid agency.
You or your attorney should get copies of what's in the court file so
you can try to figure out what happened.

I would recommend speaking with a bankruptcy attorney. A Chapter 13 may be
the way to get the account unfrozen and get your money back.

My bank told me to call the lawyer in charge of the court order to seize my
money, and negotiate a payment settlement as a way to release the account.
Is this a good idea?

No moron, it's not a good idea. That lawyer works for the best
interests of the person/entity that sued you.
You asked a question in this group, and received legal advice to
immediately contact an attorney of your own, preferably a bankruptcy
attorney ... now what is your mental malfunction?

It doesn't hurt. But the problem is that right now, he has the $9,000. Most
collection attorneys won't agree to release it, because it provides their
client with absolutely no benefit to do so.
