Bank Atlantic
Is domestic violence enablers and illegally freezes victim's accounts

Bank Atlantic is the most awful bank I have ever dealt with! The are domestic violence enablers. I was assaulted by my husband with a knife and then his fist, and he went to jail. I am disabled and in a wheelchair and depend on my husband for support. The night of the assault my husband went to jail, and the next day I went to Bank Atlantic, where my husband and I have a joint account, and I moved the majority of the joint money into my newly opened personal account.

I did this to prevent my husband from bonding out of jail and making good on his threats to kill me. 3 weeks later he called the bank from the jail and complained that the money was his and I couldn't have it. The bank froze both accounts and for the past 2 weeks I have begged and pleaded with them to allow me access to at least some of the funds so I can have money to live on.

I believe that what they are doing is illegal because I did not break any laws by doing what I did. From here out, this is a civil matter. The bank did not have any kind of police, legal, judicial, or government issued order to freeze my account. I can't get a lawyer because every penny to my name has been frozen. I am a victim twice. Once by my husband and second by my bank. How do these banks get away with such criminal acts. It is a sad day in America when our financial institutions become our judicial system...
