What is a judicial block?

A judicial block is a legal measure ordered by a judge, requiring financial institutions to temporarily restrict access to funds in an account. This action ensures that the funds remain available while legal proceedings are ongoing.

Why was my account blocked?

A judicial block can occur in several situations, including:

  • Civil cases, such as debt disputes or contract violations.

  • Criminal investigations.

  • Tax debt collection.

  • Family law cases, such as child support or asset division.

  • Labor disputes.

The block is not a decision made by AstroPay; it is a legal requirement that we must follow.

What can I do?

  • Check the case number associated with the block — we can help you with this information, if needed.

  • Understand that resolution depends on the judicial system; AstroPay cannot unblock the account or provide legal advice.

Important points:

  • The block is temporary and will be lifted when the court orders it.

  • Stay calm and avoid sharing sensitive information without legal guidance.

Tip for tracking:

You can view details of the block in your transaction history, but remember: only the court can authorize the release of the funds.
