Q. If you share an account and only one deposits money in the account and other person withdraws it all and overdrafts account and requires me to pay the bank withdrawl taken; what is it that you can do? Can you take this to small claims court?
A. Learn from you mistake and close this acct. or drop the other person from the acct. It would likely be a waste of time to go to court. You created a partnership when you opened the account and both are liable to the Bank. You could sue for an accounting from your partner but it doesn't sound like you would be able to collect anything. Get on with your life and learn from you bad judgment.
