When banks freeze accounts, they can't/won't comment on the process itself, so nobody will know 'how long it takes to get started' and in any case will generally only be interested in when it'll finish, but it takes as long as it takes rather than being a predictable timescale.  If you've provided them with anything they've asked for, then it's just a case of waiting....

They haven’t asked me for anything at all

It's not a prerequisite, but if they're suspicious of specific transactions then they'll often seek proof of source, etc - can you think of anything unusual in the conduct of your account leading up to the freeze?

Where had that money come from and how long had it been in the account for?  Did they process the transaction or stop/hold it?

I had the money in my account for ages and money come from my businesses earnings mate and yes the payment went through pal

I hope that doesn't mean you've been operating a personal account for business purposes.
