A lien or a levy? By whom? If the IRS, not much. If by a private creditor they you may be able to contest it, depending what it's for: unpaid chlld support is hard; a credit card creditor is easier.
We need more info, including the identity of the jurisdiction (state or country).

You mean lien. Depends upon who put it, when and for how much. Your bank can answers these questions; then find out how you can get rid of it. Liens are usually put when you fall behind on a payment that has matured into a default and a judgement has been declared---e.g. child support payment, or taxes or mortgage delinquency. If put by a party other than the government, they have to go to the court and obtain a judgement. Get legal help (either pay a lawyer, or LegalAid) and get to the bottom of it---otherwise your credit will be damaged badly.

generally greditors cannot "lien" an account. They levy or garnish it. Federal & state laws may limit the amounts that can be garnished or levied upon. When you received the notice of levy or garnishment you should have received some information on how to raise the defense. In any event you should consult an attorney.

Pull the bank account out and the leaner will fall to the ground.
If you mean "lien," you will have to pay the debt or dispute it if you still can.

Is there a statue of limitations on liening an account?

File bankruptcy and make the bankruptcy lawyer demand any money seized in the last 60 days be returned to you. The bankruptcy will screw your credit for years, but you would be safe from any other garnishments.

Nothing. Once the lien has been issued, you need to satisfy the debt first before it is lifted.
