Q: Can a bank make you the responsible for a bad certified Bank check
It was deposited in ATM funds posted in account but not available 2 or 3 days later the funds were released they were withdrawn and used for the purpose they were intended for. not for personal use the funds were not used for personnel bills ect
A: If you--or someone else--deposited a bad check into your account--whether or not you knew it was bad-- and you--or someone else--withdrew the money the bank has every right to do whatever it takes to recover the amount lost from you. They will also report this incident to the federal and/or state banking authorities too.
