A:
In California, you can sue Green Dot Bank in small claims court if the dispute involves a sum within the small claims court's monetary limits, which is $10,000 for individuals and sole proprietors. Small claims court is designed for resolving disputes involving smaller amounts of money in a more informal setting than regular civil courts. Before filing a suit, it's important to attempt to resolve the issue directly with the bank. If this fails, you can proceed with filing a claim in the county where the bank does business or where the dispute arose.
Keep in mind that specific procedural requirements must be followed when filing a claim, including serving the bank properly with the lawsuit. The bank has the right to defend itself in court, and the judge's decision in small claims court is typically final. Ensure you have all necessary documentation and evidence to support your claim. Consulting with a legal professional for guidance on your specific case is advisable.
