Someone opened a bank account in my name...?A relative of mine opened a First Premier bank account in my name, but we have had a falling out. Is it a way I can get that bank account in my name closed without the hassle of having to potentially take my nutty relative to court for identity fraud? | |
If it is in your name alone OR if your name and that of the relative, you can legally withdraw the money and close the account.
I thought i understood the question but the after comments make no sense - is this a BANK LOAN opened in your name?
They couldn't have opened it in your name unless you gave them your social security #. So therefore you committed fraud & are obligated for the debt. You have a problem if this is the case.
You can show the bank your identification, and possibly get your relative removed as an authorized user of the account. If the account has a negative balance, you might need to take legal action so you are not held liable to pay it.
was it YOUR money ?
If it is actually in your name you could withdraw all the money.
