It all depends on the details. You need to review your terms of service agreement and get an answer to "why." You will need to retain an attorney to evaluate the documents and circumstances in more detail to determine what rights you have, and how to get your money.
The other day I went and made a withdrawal from Checksmart and the woman who did my transaction gave me $675 and then gave me a receipt with my transaction my old amount my transaction amount and my new balance. After that she gave me the $675 in cash and when I got home she called me and told me... Read more »
Yes, you have an obligation to return the money.
I have noticed this clause in many end user agreements such as computer and phone software, product and service warranty terms, various financial applications, etc. It is always one-sided (written by the provider) and directed at the buyer. Sometimes these terms include mandatory use of a (or... Read more »
Right to a jury applies to criminal matters, not civil cases like business contracts. Rights to a jury in civil cases depend on state law, and can usually be waived as a matter of contract. That's why those waivers appear in so many business contracts.
My 12yrs daughter ran away from home in Ohio. She stole 120K dollars from my PayPal, she is in a different state. We have no idea where she is. If she comes back, which charges can I push against her? And how long is the statute of limitation before we can no longer push charges?
12 years old? You need to be talking to the police. If she is found, they will investigate what happened to the money. The prosecutor would determine charges - but as a juvenile.
Taxes. He counties to run company. They have a business bank account that he was on originally she was added to later. Bank says they are both equals on that account. Does he have rights to that money after she passes and business becomes shut down.
Additional facts are needed to answer this question. Much depends on how the bank account was set up. Who is the actual owner, who are the authorized users? Are there survivorship rights (if applicable), what do the company documents say? (articles of incorporation or Operating Agreement for a... Read more »
She passed away suddenly and I have the paperwork printed out, but need to know the easiest route to close her bank account, and switch the title to her truck into my name.
I am sorry for your loss. If your mother's name was the only one on the bank account and the truck, you will need to open a probate estate. There are 3 different sizes of estates, based on the value of the probate assets. You should check the website of the probate court of the county where... Read more »
My sister was named executor over the will. I was wondering if the joint bank accounts my mother and I had Together would have to go through the probate or would be considered part of the will.
My mother always helped her sister out with finances and my sister is trying to take out that... Read more »
If the account was "Joint with Rights of Survivorship" as most "joint" accounts are, the account goes directly to you. It does not go through probate and therefore is not controlled by the Will. All you need to do is take an original death certificate and a photo ID to a bank... Read more »
They cant find ANY details on where the cash came from. The person in question denys to answer ANY questions.
The IRS can issue an IRS Summons to any banking institution involved in the transaction (the bank that received the funds, for example), requesting copies of bank statements, wire transfers sent or received, ACH transactions, etc., and trace where the money came from.

It is very settled law in Ohio that joint bank account passes to the surviving joint owner in the event of the death of the other co-owner. The account does not pass through probate and is not controlled by the terms of the will.
my name is on a joint loan with ex husband. how do i get my name off. he's ruining my credit by not paying. divorce decree stated he is solely responsible for repayment.
You can talk to the lender, but lender likely will not agree to take you off. So the loan would have to be refinanced. If ex won't refinance or pay, then file with the court to have ex held in contempt. Talk to your divorce attorney, or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local divorce... Read more »
I opened an account with a bank, and hardly used it for almost a year. During that time period, the amount of funds never went past $500, or negative. My intent was to switch banks once I felt more comfortable with the establishment. Well, my first major transaction was flagged, and without... Read more »
I think your bank suspects you fraud. It’s not discrimination. What you’ve done is highly suspicious. It may be legitimate but they are going to investigate.
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... 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... 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... 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.
