What is a trust receipt agreement?

A trust receipt is a form of inventory financing that is often used for goods that are easily identifiable, typically with a serial number. Automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, trailers, TVs, and refrigerator/freezers are examples of products that have serial numbers. Keep in mind that the biggest question that must be answered in inventory financing agreements is, "Does this specific item serve as collateral for the loan or not?" If the company defaults on the loan, the bank (or finance company) must be able to clearly identify which items it is entitled to seize in the event of non-payment. There are various ways of identifying these items. # A blanket loan uses ALL of the inventory as collateral, so there is no question of which items are covered by the agreement. This is also known as a floating inventory lien. # A warehouse financing arrangement places a fence or boundary (typically in a warehouse) around the items to clearly identify the items serving as collateral. It is usually used for inventory items that are not easily distinguishable from one another, like furniture, lumber, carpeting, etc. # A trust receipt lists the serial numbers of the items, clearly identifying those that are covered by the loan agreement. Parts of A Trust ReceiptEssentially, a trust receipt is a combination of a promissory note (or IOU), a mortgage agreement (a document that lists certain items as collateral for the loan), and a list of restrictive clauses (both positive and negative). Promissory Note The promissory note is proof that a loan exists and lays out the repayment terms. It typically looks something like this: Mortgage AgreementThe second major part of the trust receipt is the mortgage agreement. The mortgage agreement identifies each item that serves as collateral for the loan. Notice that the inventory items have a "release price." When one of the items is sold, the borrower takes cash (from the sale) to the bank and pays off that portion of the loan. A line is then drawn through that item on the trust receipt and it is released from the agreement. (Additional items may be listed on continuation pages of the trust receipt.) Restrictive Clauses Terms of the agreement appear after the mortgage section. For example, Signature Section Then there is, of course, the signature section.

Can you put someone on file to access a checking account with out their name showing up on the account?

You may be able to add someone as a joint owner of the account, which would allow them to access the account (make withdrawals, write checks, use online banking, have a debit card, etc) but you can still order checks with only your name on it. However, bank officials will still be able to see the joint owner's name on the account - it just wouldn't be on the checks. Ask your bank if they allow this.

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.

It is mandatory for them to return the funds to the customer once his account is closed.

Can the ChexSystems electronically debit your account without permission in order to recover the amount of an overdraft check written to a merchant plus 30?

Absolutely. By using a check, you are agreeing to the rules set up by the processor of your checks. One of these rules is they charge you extra for bounced checks. Also, even if it wasn't legal for them to do this - you still have no standing. If you go to complain to the penal system, you will be admitting to theft, since writing a check without funds in the account to cover it is illegal - EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THERE WASN'T MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT. Sorry to yell, but that excuse is always used. Bouncing a check has a minimum of a $250 fine with no jail time, and possibly up to a $10,000 fine with upwards of 5 years in jail. Be happy they only took 30 bucks, and try to stay ontop of your balances.

Technically No.

It is actually the merchant not the bank that does this. You agree to it when you wrote the merchant the check. My grocery store post this on their check acceptance policy. The reason it may say checksystem. That what they use to do forced electronic check conversion.
