Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Money applied to a loan in default
Our business has a loan that is in default with a local bank. We closed our accounts there in December. Last month our credit card processor directed a payment to the old account and the bank took it as payment toward one of the loans with no notification to us. Now we can't pay for the material purchased for that customer. I guess I am just wondering if that is legal even if the bank account was closed?

Re: Money applied to a loan in default
Read The Friendly Contract(s) (the one(s) you signed when you opened your bank accounts). Probably the small print says you agreed to let the bank take the money.
