Q: Information below
If I have a bank account in my name and my ex is a sub person on the account but her checks are direct deposited to my account and I close the account due to her hacking in and changing all of my information on my bank account where I could no longer get into my account. As well as my emails and other bank accounts. Am I able to sue this person. I've had to close out all of my accounts I now have to change my social security number. Wait on my information to be changed as far as with my job to even pay my bills.
A:
It would depend greatly on what you mean by “hacking in” to determine whether you have a cause of action. If she is/was also an authorized account user, she would be/is legally permitted to make changes to the account. However, if she has defrauded you or misappropriated/stolen funds, you may have a cause of action.
It is best to consult an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your circumstances.
I wish you well.
