Can Cashier's Check be Frozen?

I purchased a cashier's check from my bank. I currently have an unsettled case with a labor department that has reported me to a collection agency. Is it possible that the collection agency or the labor department can access or freeze my cashier's check?


If the agency or department were successful in obtaining a court order preventing the bank from paying the amount of the cashier's check to you, the bank would be forced to honor the court order, and you would not be able to cash the check with the bank. For further details, you will have to consult an attorney.
