open, unused accounts may well be costing you banking fees...close all unused accounts by notifying the banks involved. Have checks mailed to you. You can close accounts by notifying each bank. DO NOT just let the money sit, as monthly charges can put an account in the red, and you will have to clear up each overdrawn account BEFORE you can open a new account anywhere...the banks all work together on this one.

Balancing a checkbook should be easy, but there are a number of pitfalls.\n\nIf you're using a check card with that account then you have another source of outgoing funds to consider. You can only balance your check book when you consider what other monies are being taken out of that account. Additionally, money drawn out from that account may not be removed the same day as the tramsaction. Add to that the complications of interest payments and funds coming into the account and transaction fees and you will end up with a headache.\n\nI suggest you either use your statements to balance your account (even better with software such as Quicken or even Excel) or you use online banking, which is always right (as of close of last business day) even if you can't figure out why.

Talk to your bank. They are all different.

You can move to another state just contact social security and give them a new address to send youre check to, give them 30 days notice.

If there is a way to do it, I'm sure it is easier to just open a new one, transfer all your money, close your old one.\nIf your bank account number were to change you would need new cards, new checks, new routing numbers, etc... so I don't know what you would be trying to accomplish.

Go to the bank that you have a checking account with.

Call your bank and explain the situation.  If you used your debit card, they can close it and open you another one with a different number.  If you gave them your actual account number, ask your bank to freeze and/or close that account and make you another one.  Time is a factor, so do it right away to prevent any unauthorized charges!

You can hire a Collection Agency or go to small claims court.  Before I would do either I would first go to the District Attorney as paying for services and placing a stop payment for those services could carry criminal charges of fraud or possibly depending how the law is written even writing a bad check.  Good Luck as a small business I realize that each sale is extremely important and may in fact be the tool that finances the next job.

There may be other ways, but I would go to a bank in your area (preferably a large bank with lots of offices around the state or your region).  Most large banks have ares which handle foreign excange and international transactions on a daily basis.

some banks have whats called a second chance account with limitations and a probational period  meaning that if you have messed up with other banks they give you a chance to get yourself together .you may have to build your relationship with the bank before they let you get a debit card or checks,but its for your safety so that you don't mess up another account.

Yes, I do. Your money is federally insured - FDIC up to a huge amount of money. Just balance your statements and you'll be fine. When you find a mistake, you call them on it. Usually, they put whatever amount of money is in question back into your account until they finish their investigating of what happened. If they are right, they take the money back out of your account. If the bank is wrong - which I have seen before - they send you a letter saying you were right! That's the best part! But they will send a letter either way.

go to your bank and have them close your account and open you a new one. my boyfriend's daughter had to do that when that was happening to her.

All states have different banks, at 17 I opened my first account with a bank called First Citizens and they were great to do business with.They have toll free numbers if you need help and you actually speak with someone that can help you.\n\nMy cousin just opened an account with Bank of America and he had saved a bit of money up,come yesterday he deposited his paycheck and we went out of town.When we got there he tried getting money from an atm and it said he only had .57 cents in his account.He tried calling customer service but only got an automated response which was no help at all.My brother also dealt with the same bank,and they allowed overdrafts and caused his account to be messed up because it would say the money was there but then say it wasn't.\n\nWorse bank I know of is Wachovia.My fiance had an account there,and it went very bitter.Same with my father,he would deposit money and go shopping two days later and then they would say he had no money in the account,and charge him fees.Same thing with a few more people I know.

do not operate your account like this. if you want to continue with your account in the future, maintain the minimum balance. or else write a letter to the bank that you want to close the account. otherwise bank will be putting some charges for not maintaining the minimum balance.
