Unless this has been a habit and there is a history of such, the bank could buy some very bad publicity in so doing, and, it depends on how soon the money as paid back and under what circumstances, but on the surface it does not sound too bad.
You may be fined by the bank for writing a check on a non-existent account. Plus, the person to whom you gave the check can sue you for the money and for which you can be arrested and jailed. Writing a check on a closed account is illegal and you can be jailed for the same.
Actually such a scenario wouldn't occur. When a bank account is closed, the bank would release all the funds held in that account to the account holder on the same day the account is closed. Even if they can't do it immediately, they would have sent a check to the customer by post/mail. Banks cannot hold on to the funds of a bank account that was closed. It is mandatory for them to return the funds to the customer once his account is closed.
If your account was closed by you going into the bank and withdrawing the balance of the funds to close account, no. This account has been officially closed and is no longer active. However, if your bank account was closed due to lack of funds and put into the overdraft mode; yes. In fact you need to deposit funds as soon as possible to bring the account into the positive and to avoid any further charges or collection issues. NO
There is actually no way you can recover your QAB charges.....I have suffered from the same problem, I have tried absolutely everything and never got my money back. I finally closed my account at ICICI and opened an account in IDBI Bank.....they don't have these kind of charges and they give the same amount of interest.
my bank closed my account can i reopen the same account again
No. If the account is now closed, there is no money there available for the bank to pull out and give to you. Your only recourse, is to see if the person/business who wrote the check originally will give you a NEW check for the same amount if you give them the old check (showing them that it was never cashed.)
Yes, a check cashing business can be sued for filing criminal charges if they were aware that repayment was going to be made. Filing criminal charges in such circumstances could be considered malicious prosecution, which is illegal. The individual could seek legal recourse for damages.
Under the following circumstances the husband cannot file charges against his wife for taking money out of his account:If the wife is a joint account holder in the accountIf the wife was in possession of the husbands ATM or Debit card when she withdrew money from his accountIf the wife was in possession of a signed check linked to the husbands bank accountIf neither of the above conditions are true, then the husband can legally file charges against his wife for taking money from his account without his notice.
Yes, any check you write on an account with no money is a overdraft.
Check Clearing
I do not know about Wells Fargo, but Bank of America can. They took money from an account where I am a co-signer. My old account was closed 6 years ago.
When a bank honors a check for which you do not have the money, it is considered an overdraft. The bank will recover its money as soon as the funds hit your account and charge an overdraft fee for honoring the check when the funds were not present.
