In my professional opinion none of the facts stated by you could be the basis for any lawsuit based upon negligence. So I am afraid to tell you that the only way to get away from this bank is to repay the loan in full. (

The above mentioned transactions are large. Trade Credit Insurance is needed to finance supply chain, shipping etc. The contracts are in need of legal overview.
Is there legal assistance for these large transactions on a per transaction basis?
answered on Sep 10, 2019
Frankly, I would be surprised to find an attorney who is interested in transactional work, who works on an hourly fee basis, who would not jump at the chance to take work on a contract by contract basis.

Small Claims is a good option for a $1,300 claim. Or you could contact the credit card company to find out what it can do about the money that was refunded to your card that is "not active". Unclear what that means, by the way. Is it a card you don't use, or a card that you... View More

Knowing banks and bankers as well as I do, I am sure there is a copy of this check somewhere--or perhaps the original cancelled check is buried beneath 100 tons of stuff kept in storage by the bankers--who keep everything forever.
So, yes, there might be a way to find a copy; however, the... View More

Bank fraud is NEVER "legal" even if it perpetrated by the spouse of the person injured by the fraudulent acts. Now before you come back and ask if the bank can be held liable for the fraud committed by a married customer, the answer is no. However, upon proper proof the bank could... View More

There isn't a form for that. You would have to draft a petition on pleading paper. Does the will specifically mention the joint account? Ordinarily, a will does not override a joint account.

If you have to ask whether an internet bank is legitimate or not, it probably isn't.
Since it is a joint debt, can we exclude it from the BK and continue making payments on it?

Banks do not usually review public records to look for transfers like this. Banks are more concerned with receiving their mortgage payments. As long as the payments are received on time, even if paid through the trust, rather than you, there should not be a problem. The problem would arise if... View More

If the WCJ did not appoint a guardian then you have none and you should be cashing your checks, not someone else. Speak to the WC carrier and demand that the checks be sent directly to you. If someone then takes the checks and cashes them, it is a matter for the district attorney.
