Stopping a bank arrestment
Bank account arrestments can be stopped legally by being recalled or restricted. It is often necessary to raise an objection in court, but can be done by negotiation with the sheriff officer or the creditor.
Technically, only the following have the authority to recall or restrict and arrestment:
•sheriff officers, on the instructions of the creditors who authorised them to arrest the bank account; or
•a sheriff at the sheriff court.
