Try to see if the bank could... View More 
Long story short, I traded my car in back in December and it still hasn't been paid off over three months later. In response to one of the answers received: the plates were taken off and registration WAS cancelled. In January, I received a letter stating that the car was involved in an... View More

When you traded in, you should have taken the plates and canceled your registration. Sounds like you left the plates on, which is your fault, and the part of the scam here.

Any transfer over $10,000 US is reported by the bank but is not taxed.
You don't report it on your personal income return as long as it's a personal transfer.
If it's a gift or earned income it changes things.

The check writer is now asking why this occurred, since it was not their intention for their money to go to TWO. What is the recourse?

I am in New York resident with New York bank accounts. My bank will not release my funds and recognize my protection under EIPA $1740 exemption for basic living needs. Each account contained under $1,740. because it’s a California judgement. Are they acting lawfully? What are my options? Thanks
answered on Oct 4, 2019
It depends where the levy was done. If it is a New York restraining notice, then EIPA applies. If it is a bank in CA, and the levy was done there under CA law, even though you live in NY and use an NY branch, CA law applies.
