My mother had a small business and became ill. She had me be a signer on her business account so I could help out. The business recently filed for bankruptcy.
Citibank took over $4,000.00 out of my secured money market account and transferred it to her business's overdraft protection toward paying her debt.
I have thrown a fit with everyone at the bank, and they told me to sue them; they don't have to give it back because I wrote checks for the business.
They admitted that if I did not bank at Citibank, they could not have gotten my money. I own NO part of the business and was only a signer on the account.
When I first found that my money was missing, they told me someone in Chicago withdrew it from a teller.
Since then they have informed me where the money was transferred and that I would not be getting it back. I have never authorized any monies to ever be transferred from my personal accounts to my mother's accounts.
What, if anything, can I do about this?
