Legal Question in Banking Law in California
Money is illegally taken from my account via an electrnoic debit
I was doing business with a customer for 1 year and the relationship ending on a bad note. All payments by me to them were done through normal checks.
After the relationship turned bad they fradualantly put through an electronic check for $9,600. I didn't catch it until 5 months later. I NEVER authorized such check. Do I have any recourse against the bank?
* This happened in May. In July the same company tried doing the exact same thing and this time the bank notificed me and of course I told them not to put it through. At the time the bank rep told me that they ALWAY get verification for these electronic transactions. However, in May, they never contacted me.

You have a duty to look at your bank statements. Your lawsuit is against the former customer for fraud and conversion, at this point the bank is off the hook.
