I had two checking accounts one was closed by my bank cuz I failed to pay the balance off so they took money out of my current account at the bank to pay can they do that
Yes. Banks are allowed to recover any money they lost from any source available. The solution is to spread your money around and not keep all of it in one basket.
There are several questions that need to be asked.
How much money is in that account?
Did she have any other property?
Did your grandma have a will?
If not her inheritance would be governed by the Ohio laws of intestate succession.
So the next question would... Read more »
I signed a contract and the guy called me after I signed the contract about paying him back, I need help with this. Thank you.
We need a lot more detail to assist you. What was the payment for? What work have you done? Supplies purchased? Etc.
over the past month I helped with collecting the payments and sending them to the vendor for the items. The vendor never shipped any items, she made fake tracking numbers, and etc. People are saying they are going to report me because I took their payment but I have proof from my bank account that...

Since you saw the need to double down and admit to being involved in further cybercrimes I saw the need to repeat my advice posted in answer to your earlier question.
Based on your own description of the "online business" that you say you "help run" it will be hard for you to convince many... Read more »

You should hire an attorney to go through the transactions, the customer complaints, and the rest of your business to help you prepare to defend allegations that you are part of the scam.
My wife and I entered Chapter 7 bankruptcy just 5 days ago. 3 days ago my bank removed #100 from my checking account, and when I contacted them, they verified it was them and they took it for "processing" the bankruptcy notice. This account has been positive and current for 15 years, with no risk... Read more »
The bank did not "levy" your account. The bank imposed a service charge that they (presumably) informed all their customers would happen if the customer caused the bank significant work processing the notice of bankruptcy papers they received. (BTW: Your bankruptcy lawyer should have told you... Read more »
I got a letter saying I was approved for a $60000 home equity loan. The next day I was called and told that they were wrong and it was only $40000. The next day I received a letter that stated I was approved for the amount of $60000 signed by a loan officer. I was later informed they wrongfully... Read more »
Do about what? You asked for $60,000 and you are getting $60,000. Where's the beef?
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.
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.
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.

If a report of possible financial wrongdoing was made, then they are obligated by law to investigate and confirm that the money has been used for your grandmother.

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? Police and prosecutors generally do not call people and tell them to pay it back or else, they usually just charge the person. It would be a good idea to get an attorney... Read more »
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.
My father passed in May, my brother is executor of estate. My father had transfer of death deed to the both of us for house and property. House is pending sale, my brother is saying there will be 3 checks because my father still owns half the house because of something he did with paperwork so... Read more »
What your brother meant to say is that your father's estate now owns half the house. When it sells, half the sale proceeds will go to the estate, and then the estate will distribute it to you and your brother according to your father's will. If your brother was named on the bank accounts as a... Read more »
This is really a personal decision, not a legal question. They should understand the consequence could be quite severe, if the matter is reported. And, particularly if the family is otherwise on good terms, a repayment plan and an a heart to heart may be a much better option.
We are in the middle of a home purchase. We had to amend our federal taxes, because I forgot to include a W2 in the original return.

1) Not having a will doesn't mean you don't have to go through probate. Indeed, it likely means you WILL have to go through probate.
2) Simply inform the banks your mother has died, and call the credit card companies with the same information. They will freeze the account automatically... Read more »
