If you--or someone else--deposited a bad check into your account--whether or not you knew it was bad-- and you--or someone else--withdrew the money the bank has every right to do whatever it takes to recover the amount lost from you. They will also report this incident to the federal and/or state... View More

I hope your bank is able to assist you here. As a general matter, exercise caution with offers from parties you do not know who speak of sums of several million dollars, and that involve princes, heiresses, or other exotic beneficiaries. They often involve inquiries about your sensitive banking... View More
Is there any legal requirements that would prohibit me from using a simple checking account (non business type) for my family farm? I would not use this account for any personal debt or check writing. Simply to track incoming money and pay farm bills.

There is no legal requirement per se. Do you have a legal business entity like an LLC? If you do have an LLC then and you have concerns that perhaps one day you could be involved in a law suit, then I would want to keep my personal and business funds separate.
However, if you're just... View More
My landlord says she has the receipt proving my check was accepted by the bank. How long can it take for the bank to resolve this problem? What if weeks/months go by and the check never is cashed? If I write the bank another check are they responsible for the stop payment fee?

Talk to your bank and find out what the problem is and where your check currently is. That knowledge will in turn allow you to fix the problem and go forward.

On black Friday the 25th of November 2016 I was informed by my Bank JP Morgan Chase that my account had a levy placed on it by the California Franchise Tax Board. The total amount in my account was placed on hold and still is. In addition to that hold amount, I was charged a $75 legal fee by my... View More

First you need to get the paperwork they sent chase. They can't just show up with a levy. Second you need to find out who this board is. I'd also worry the whole thing is a scam, so follow up with JP morgan at a number you get on your statement not on some email.
