I have had this card for over 4 years, and have had next to no issues.

However, a couple weeks ago, someone tried to use the card number online for all sorts of random purchases. I contacted the bank and got a new card issued, with a new number, and there were no more issues.

However, yesterday, I paid off the card, so it had no balance on it. Within 12 hours, someone (presumably the same person) had filled the entire account balance to the maximum.

This card has never left my possession and has never been used online, so I don't know how they got the number. But my bigger concern is the fact that they immediately maxed it out the second it was paid off, despite an entirely new account number.

How can this possibly happen? The card was brand new and I hadn't even used it yet.

To make a long story very short, I was supposed to recieve a check to settle a personal injury claim.

However, it never arrived, so I asked the attorney handling the case what the cause of the delay was, only for him to tell me that the check had already been sent and cleared, though he couldn't tell me if that meant deposited or cashed.

This check never arrived. I was watching my mail judiciously, and that mailbox is locked. No one could have gotten in without the mail key, which is quite secure as far as keyed locks go.

I spoke to my bank, who confirmed the check was never deposited into my account, but they can't help me since the money never came through to them.

The attorney and the insurance company he represents aren't willing to help either.

Is there any way I can get this handled through the bank?

Say someone is accused of stealing $100,000 from a business or w/e. They're caught and charged, but the money isn't found.

Then, the person is held to not be legally competent to stand trial, due to a lack of the ability to understand the alleged crime or to comprehend that what they did was illegal, say because they are schizophrenic and were suffering command hallucinations and genuine delusions that those hallucinations were reality at the time.

If they didn't know their actions were wrong, that seems to be a lack of mens rea, so how would they go about handling a case like that?

And if there's no trial and no conviction, what happens to the money? If they never prove in a court of law they it was stolen, and they can't locate it in the person's property, how do they recover it?

This account was wrongly ba​nned for 7 days with no chance to ap​peal.

Now, 7 days later, the message has changed to saying this account has been permanently ba​nned, even though I never got another message.

But I can comment and post from mobile web, but not the app, where it still says account susp​ended.
