    Banking Question.

    I don't think it matters. Chex Systems is a like a credit report for banking and will disclose the mutliple accounts, but I doubt a New Accounts Person would care.

    Personal Bankruptcy Selling House After Filing Bankrupcty

    Maybe If this is a Chapter 7, the Trustee owns your home legally, so you can't sell it unless he has abandoned that asset. If there is a no asset report, estate closure order, or a specific abandonment by the trustee, you are OK.

    Hand written info on back of check

    Restrictive Endorsement In most states, a restrictive endorsement will bind you. A restrictive endorsement might say, "Payment in Full" or something like that. The applicable Uniform Commercial Code Section is 3-311. If cashed with knowledge of the endorsement and the debt is subject to a...

    Stop payment on a check

    The returned check is what we banking lawyers call a "charge back". Under the Uniform Commerical Code, in endorsing the check, you represented and warranted to everyone, including your depository bank, that the check was valid.

    It depends on the payor (drawee) bank. Most banks will not accept a check that has been dishonored more than twice. There is no set rule or statute or regulation.

    Investors and Usury?

    Personal Bankruptcy need help sba loan and bank

    Well, I'd pay them back what you can, and make a payment plan for the rest. You can't expect them to take the loss and walk away. I don't entirely understand the reasons for the business failure over 60 days, but the bottom line is that you owe the money and ultimately they will collect it.

    The SBA can be patient, but you will either pay them or they will foreclose on the mortgage. I don't get how you only used $38,000 of the loan funds, have sold the $30,000 in equipment, and still owe the SBA. Did you sell the equipment and pocket the dough? If so, thats not very nice, and I...
