You likely agreed in your deposit contract that any attempt to overdraw your account—including a declined balance inquiry—can trigger an NSF fee, since many banks define “presentment” to cover network balance checks.

And even if I paid it in full they say I'll still have to go to court for it
answered on Jun 27, 2019

ADVISE: Unless you pay the $341 in full and go to court, things... View More

It interest is about 1000' do you still file taxes?
answered on Mar 2, 2017
If your only income for the year is $1,000 of interest, then you would not have an income tax filing requirement. The answer is different if someone else is claiming you as a dependent and the interest was over $1,050, then you would have a filing requirement.
My mom died when I was five and I've got money ever since. I got money out before but I my dad had to go through the court to get it approved. I'm just wondering when I'm able to touch it fully.
