Yes, anyone can receive a check. If you do not have a bank account, your options for negotiating that check will be limited compared to someone who does have a bank account. You would have to go to the drawee bank to cash the check (often for a fee) or use a check cashing service (again, typically for a fee).

Can you sue your bank for not Informing you about CD account money going to your checking account?

I dont think so. Usually while opening the CD you are asked the instructions upon maturity. If you had chosen the option of crediting your checking account then definitely you cannot sue them. In most cases, if no maturity instructions are given by the customer, the cash is deposited into his/her account. If you had provided specific maturity instructions and the bank dint follow it and instead deposited the cash to your account then you can. But before that you must give a written complaint to the bank and see what they have to say.

If there is no money in a checking account can you cash a check?

There are a couple ways to answer this question. 1) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN OUT TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but have no money in YOUR account: Unless it is a government check or a payroll check you will not be able to cash it. Most banks now require you to provide your Social Security Number when cashing it instead of your account number (since there is no money in your account to "hold the check" against.) IF you still need to cash it you can always bring it to the bank that it was "drawn off of" on every check it says what bank that persons account is at. 2) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN YOU TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but the person whose account it's coming from does not have enough money (or no money) you'll still be able to cash it, however the person whose account its coming from will be hit with an overdraft fee. Also, when you bring it to your bank to cash it and it is "drawn off" a different bank the money may be drawn out of YOUR OWN account. Banks dont like giving out money for free. I highly suggest you bring it to the bank it was drawn off of to avoid any problems. 2) IF YOU WROTE OUT A CHECK.. and dont have enough money in your account the check might go through, but you will be hit with a big overdraft fee for going below $0.

If you keep no money in your account for a prolonged duration of time or if you dont use your bank account for a very long time, then the bank has the right to either make your account dormant or even close it.
