Bad news: Getting out of an agreement to purchase "membership" in a timeshare resort is much more difficult that getting into it was. Call some Ohio real estate lawyers.
Can I be prosecuted under statute of limitations in 209?

Your question is unclear. If you cashed a bad check in 2015, it may be too late for law enforcement to do anything about it. But that does not mean a collection agency cannot try to collect on behalf of whoever lost the money.
Does my bank have a legal right to go through my transactions and threaten to close my account for what is being paid. I personally separate business from personal expenses on my taxes.

You should be separating your accounts, and the back is likely within its rights pursuant to the contract you signed with them if they believe the account is being used for personal or illegal purposes. Review your contract with the bank.

First, you need to make sure you are not getting scammed again. Who called and how do they want you to pay this money back?

my next of kin passed away in 2007 and there wasn't a will. Besides, he didn't have any close family. I have recently been informed about his death and the fact that he had an account in Barclays Bank.

You should contact a probate attorney in your area. You will most likely have to pay a retainer. If the Barclays account does not have significant value, it may not be worth the cost to open the probate estate.
