Yes. If the loan is at a bank where the party holds accounts. This is referred to as a "set off'. Most bank loans will have a set off provision included in the loan contract. It allows the bank to seize the person's bank account(s) for monies owed, w/o a court order or other legal procedure.

If you have accounts in the bank that holds your mortgage, the bank can take the money in your accounts to set off what you owe in the foreclosure. You should never have bank accounts in the bank that you owe money to. If the bank requires an account, just open an account and put in the amount needed to direct-pay the bank.

In a bank charge report What does right of set-off mean?

"Right of set-off" refers to the bank's right to debit your deposit account for fees / loans/ or expenses you may owe the bank. Most often, this is used when a person has a loan with the bank that is in default. In order to pay the loan, the bank utilizes it's right of set-off to take the necessary funds from the person's checking account at the same bank and apply those funds to the loan.


How long does a large check take to clear?

It depends on your bank and how long they think they can hold YOUR money before you get upset and close your account and move your money to another bank. Don't forget that Bank of America's CEO Brian Moynihan stated that his bank has a right to earn a profit. They are in business to make money, which they do off of your money. And to provide customers with timely service is somewhat of an afterthought these days. The longer they hold your money, the more they can make.

Can you open an account with a bank if you have had a charge off with a past account?

Typically no, once your account gets to the point of charged off, it has been overdrawn for roughly 45 days (give or take). Your name and SSN then get reported to ChexSystems which then notifies every bank of your charged off account. Not many banks want to risk losing their money to you if you've already lost money for another bank. Your best chance to get an account is to go back to the bank your account was charged off, explain what happened, and hope for the best. And next time balance your checkbook... daily.

How do you take a person off your checking account?

Call your bank. Each bank's policies may vary. An easier solution would be to withdraw your money, then open a new account in your name only.
