To get your deposit back without a contract, first review the receipt for any terms regarding refunds or deposits. Contact the seller or service provider to formally request the return of your deposit, providing the receipt as proof of payment. If necessary, document all communication and be prepared to escalate the issue to a consumer protection agency or consider legal action if your request is denied.

How do you write a check for deposit into another one of your other accounts?

If you have more than one account with the same bank you can simply transfer money from one account to the other (i.e. savings to chequing or vice versa). This can be done online if you have online banking or at the till. You could even withdraw money from an ATM out of one of your accounts and then deposit it into another.Assuming that the accounts are not with the same bank and you want to write a check to "transfer" from one account "source" to deposit into the other bank account "target".You can make the check out to "Cash" and endorse it (sign the back).It would be wise to write your "target" bank account number in the memo portion of the check preceeded by the word "deposit". Just be sure to get a deposit receipt and ensure that it was deposited into your account. Be aware that the bank may place a hold on the deposit amount until it receives the funds from the other bank (your check does not bounce).


Is it wrong to give the customer the Merchant copy of the receipt?

What is an escrow deposit?

An escrow deposit is money put down to hold a contract to purchase real estate. The deposit should be given to a 3rd party such as a realty agent to hold. When you are attempting to purchase a business, you usually put up an 'earnest money deposit' to be placed in escrow. The deposit money does not belong to the seller. The last person you want to give it to, to hold onto until closing (settlement, passing of papers) is the seller! If the deal sours and the seller has already used the money ("Oh, he told you it would go into a special fund? It did...") it may be extremely difficult to get your deposit back. Perhaps in the seller's mind he thought it was his to keep. Give it to a third party to hold! If you are buying a FSBO (for sale by owner) give it to an escrow agent, escrow title company, attorney, or you can go to the bank and set up a special escrow account. (This may vary by state law. I just tried to put a deposit into it's own escrow account and the bank will not let 'escrow' be on the account as it implied they were the escrow agent and they want no liability or part of a dispute.)

What can you do if your landlord refuses to give you back your security deposit because you lost your receipt?

If your landlord accepted the security deposit from you he must return to you unless he have legal grounds to keep all or part of the security deposit. I don't think that the loss of your receipt for the security deposit is enough to allow your landlord to keep it. Thus you can sue him.

How do you get your security deposit back after moving out of an apartment?

If you signed the contract, then you must abide the terms. If it clearly states that you do not get your deposit back, then there is nothing you can do. You might be able to work out a deal with the landlord to clean your own house/apartment to his satisfaction and then get the money back - they make deals like that all the time.
