Q: Can I sue my bank for neglece and stealing money from me?
My bank Space Coast Credit on two different occasions the bank took my money the first time they took my full SSI check and the second time only left me $211.00. I explained to the that I am on SSI and I depend on my check to pay rent and bills and rather than them take my money in one lump sum regardless if I owed them money or not to pay them off in payments I can't afford to have big amounts of money taken from me. Because of that I could not pay my rent and bills and I feel like I am being robed and this is not fare. I don't feel like I am a name or a person to them I feel less than a number.
A: It appears that the bank set off funds in your account because you owed the bank money for some reason. If this is the case, yes, they can do it.
