Anytime my account was frozen I had to call my bank to figure out why exactly it was frozen. This has only happened to me once, someone had put a card reader on a gas pump at the gas station right by my work and they stole my credit card information and tried to buy a bunch of stuff using my card. My bank put everything on hold, and I was at work at the time which was annoying since I couldn't call them right away. Most of the time it's for fraudulent activity and isn't always a glitch from the bank but I'm sure that can happen as well.

The first issue is easy to correct, you can just go to the bank and submit your documents. For the second problem, you will have to provide proof of incoming and out going payment.

Call you bank right away. There could be a hold on it, an attempted theft of your money, etc. If it's frozen, it's a good thing, as no one else can access the funds until you clear things up. Which is where you just have to call the bank, maybe go there in person and speak with someone about correcting it and seeing what's going on.
