Just head down to the bank and ask them directly. My guess is they’re still showing old debts that were actually settled over the last four years. Since the bank acts as the data manager, they report everything regarding delinquencies to the credit bureaus, like Equifax or Experian. If there was an unpaid balance from, say, 2017 that you finally cleared in 2018, the bank doesn't just wipe the slate clean; they send that history straight to the federal regulators.
They put a cap on certain accounts—limiting them to debit cards only—to stop money laundering and messy transfers from happening. Basically, if you can't use a credit card, it’s because the account belongs to a payment processor, a sportsbook, a bank, an investment fund, an insurance company, or a savings institution. Some specific businesses that take credit cards are also on this list. You can check out the full list right here:
Then they just cut you off. They pulled your credit products because you weren't hitting those automatic payments on time. Major fail. They basically flipped your balance into an installment plan (95 x 12), and the bank is just gonna keep pulling those monthly rates like they always have. You should probably just head down to JPMorgan Chase and ask them why they shut everything down.
I don't know, just head down to JPMorgan Chase tomorrow and check... Are you sitting at zero today? Was James being messy about which specific product it was?
Whatever, they definitely should've sent you a notice about the overdraft extension ending and the installment plan for it anyway.
So, have you seen any regular deposits hitting your account lately? You really ought to be getting some kind of notice saying they aren't renewing it—basically, that they're shutting it down.
Stop starting new threads. Just hit up your personal banker first to see if things are sorted, or go straight to the legal department to find out where they're at with it. Legal will give you the real answer. If all else fails, just demand the name of the attorney handling the garnishment order and deal with them directly. 😉
Yeah, you can't touch the overdraft. But listen, you actually have to cover the negative balance too. Basically, if you want the funds pulled and your account unblocked, your balance needs to be equal to or higher than the total amount blocked. You can't mess with the overdraft because that’s just the bank giving you credit—it isn't your money. 😉 If you deposit directly into a frozen account, Goldman Sachs just grabs the cash and unblocks the account. However, if you pay the specific debt that triggered the garnishment, you're going to have to call the legal department and ask them to halt the collection process. By the time they handle that, notify the court or the notary, and wait for the judge or notary to issue an order and get that paperwork back to Goldman Sachs... There’s a much easier way to pay into a frozen account. Doing it your way is just asking to sit around waiting forever... 😉
Strange, my money was pulled from my account tomorrow. Goldman Sachs grabs it immediately, but then they just sit on it in their own account for 60 days. You sure you aren't just sitting in an overdraft right now?
It’s becoming a regular thing... One law firm sent a garnishment notice straight to my office and flagged it with the IRS, claiming some court order that wasn't even finalized or legally binding. Since I already knew the details of the case, I just told our accounting department that the order was invalid and they couldn't touch it, then filed an appeal with the court. Now I'm just sitting around waiting to see if the judge orders them to cover my legal fees and court costs...
