MA Bankruptcy Law Questions and Answers

HI All,
We are 45 days late on our mortgage and are working with our bank on a short sale. The bank froze our checking account without notifying us. Is this legal? Basically, we tried to use our debit card and it was declined so we had to call the bank to find out about the account freeze.
thanks
