My question involves a banking matter in the State of: Connecticut
My account was frozen last week, apparently a check signed over to me did not go through properly, and they are going to be closing my account because there may have been a chance of fraud.
I don't understand how they are holding my money that I deposited in CASH. Nor did I try and take out money from the check that was apparently possibly fraudulent. I was told I'd be receiving a check in the mail for the remainder left in my account, but I need it now, and they have not yet closed my account and it is still "frozen" I live pay check to paycheck and I have no money other then what was deposited!
On the day that I found out my ATM card did not work, I went into the bank. They gave me $300 of the $650 that was legitimately in there, deposited the day before in cash at different branch. Now the women I had first spoken to is saying it will take up to 10 business days!
Is this legal to hold my money that was deposited in cash if they already charged me the $10 for a returned check?
