Can I pursue a lawsuit against a bank that put a IRS tax lien on my account which lasted too long,13 days!?


I found out that the lien was only for that day,Nov. 27, but the bank would not even let me pull out ten dollars for food, bills,so on.I had to borrow money from friends for this.Of course I was in real bad shape stresswise.The bank refused to call the IRS to find out what was right till they were made to.I sure think this is a case of mental anguish! What would anyone feel like if you knew you were paid but the bank wouldnt even let you touch ten dollars of it.Also I got a NSF notice but got a refund of it and the bank wrote a note Lien Error!! well if any lawyers out there I cant pay unless case is won but the bank definitely was in the wrong and proof is everywhere, even from the bank!!

You have no claim against the bank. If the IRS levies your bank account, the bank is required BY LAW to freeze the account and turn any funds over to the IRS as stipulated in the IRS order.

And I've never heard of a "one day lien" from the IRS. If you have a debt to the IRS and they levy your bank accounts it means that you have been ignoring them for quite a while. You ignored at least 5 letters from the IRS as well as at least 1 that warned you that your account was about to be levied.

Next time, don't ignore the IRS and you won't have this problem.

Even if you could take them to court, you wouldnt look so good either having the IRS lien and all. It's gonna cost you the lawyer fee and you'll be lucky to get an attorney to represent you.

i think we need more info on this to answer correctly. why a irs lein? what was the reason the bank put a hold on your funds? To take on the irs and the bank would be a real big task but, a person can sue anyone for anything.
