Your bank may shut down your account for several reasons. Here are eight of them. Zero Balance If your account contains no money, the bank might close it. When you repeatedly bounce checks, your bank likely will shut down your account.
Too Many Transfers Banks impose limits on how many transfers you can make between certain types of accounts, such as a checking account and savings account.
Changes at the Bank If your bank stops doing business in your state, shuts down branches in your area or exits the banking business altogether, it may very well close your account. Maintain a paper trail. Hold onto all written communication you receive about the account closure, keep notes of every phone call you have with a bank representative and jot down the name of every person you speak with. Halt direct deposits and automatic withdrawals such as bill payments.
Review your account for outstanding checks. If any checks remain uncashed, contact the payees and set up a different payment method to prevent bounced checks. How can I get some of my money if not all right away? How long does a bank have to legally send your money back? It has been over a month since I closed my account and no one there can tell me where my money is. I am so mad I am shacking!!!!!
Please help! They just tell me to wait for it whenever I call I was wondering did you finally get your money and what did you do? Law enforcement and the bank that report me and made BOA freeze my accounts rules out to my favor. What would you do in this case? Luckily I was able to open another account before they closed my account but I want to be in good standing in case I want to either witch banks or open a new account. I made several calls more than 30 they keep transferring my calls and at some point they said a bad check was paid into your account and investigation is ongoing.
You bring that actual document to the bank and the bank account number. They are to authorize you to that account. Litteraly go to a different location. Some people are just asses. Hope that helps. It was a side account of many I had. I was busy and not once did I think they would do it, as the debt was JUST from account maintenance fees!!!
Bc my piggy bank charges zero. This is wrong! I missed the stimulus check that was scheduled to go in 6 days after they unknowingly shut my account. We are trying to locate funds and access to account.
How can we get information of how to find this missing money? How do I retrieve the funds? I drawn it with it was a huge mistake made by one of my friends that now is gone. So my question is if the bank closes my account how much time do I have to pay what I owe?
I had actually paid all my debts the bank said I owed it, and settled all my past overdrafts fees against opening a new account. I paid the entire amount without any doubt as I trusted my bank wanted me to have a fresh start as much as I did and learn from my mistakes. Well, 3 days letter, I received a letter in the mail from the bank stating my account was closed.
Though the balance on my account was positive and all my debts were paid, none of it was good enough to keep my account in good standing opened for me. But when it came to compensate me Otherwise, the law requires that only a person authorized to draw on the account, may close the account by an order to the bank.
The definition does not include the financial institution in which the account is held. The same people responsible for the victimization used undue influence to drain my account completely in a matter of 2 months. I thought that I would be protected, because I have a habit of recording my every day activities on a laptop or cell phone. Inadvertently, I captured these people discussing how they had used undue influence to steal my money, and they specifically state amounts.
I immediately tried to report this to police, but the minute I said undue influence, they shrugged me off and diminished what has taken place, refusing to even take the digital evidence I offered up. I then called the bank and asked them for help with contacting the FBI, reported the fraud, and explained what was happening.
The bank shut down my online account access, but refused to complete the fraud complaint citing that I didn't know the last four numbers of my debit card. I visited three separate branches after trying to get them to complete it. Two of them stated they could not help without proper ID. The third branch accepted my evidence, and the branch manager did speak to me, and allow me to show him the video and photos I had proving the fraud.
I showed him a photo that was taken of me during the victimization, which depicts me with a bloody face, crying, and with a chain around my neck.
He said to me that the photo meant nothing to him, as he isn't a police officer. He told me that there would be no investigation and that I had no rights because "it would be the same thing if you pulled this money from an ATM, and got mugged around the corner.
