How do I unfreeze my checking account after my debt has been paid?

My account has been frozen since yesterday, and I have a check that will be directly deposited which should satisfy the debt owed. What can I do to expedite the unfreezing of my account? How long can I be expected to wait, as after the weekend I will have rent due. As a member of the military I am looking for a way to get this quickly resolved.

The best way to unfreeze your checking account as to the debt that you owe is to pay the creditor in full the money owed and obtain a full satisfaction of judgment as to the debt dated and signed by the creditor. Once obtained file it with respect to the legal action where there is a judgment against you. Also require the creditor to release the "freeze" on your checking account in writing as a condition of paying the debt off in full.
