BAD, BAD NEWS...................OMG!!!!!

That stinks! I would continue to put the pressure on - to stop the direct deposit should be seamless. I can understand setting it up for a new deposit may take a few cycles. To stop my deposit it took one email. It took me a few weeks to get the new routing number on my new account so I missed the cutoff and have had two paper checks but this next one should go in the new account. Is there anyway he can claim fruadulent activity on the old account? I have to believe there is a way to make an immediate stop. If the employee was terminated you can be sure they would have the capability of puttin on a hard stop!

Right,when you terminate employment then they issue a paper check for the final one and immediately stop direct deposit. My company does too. I don't know what their
**** problem is! Like me day was going so well anyway before this, UH NOT!!!! Sorry, that's a whole other story!!! Today was like Monday all over again!

I think they can do it immediately if they want to, mine did, and then one paper check before the new direst deposit started.

My employer can only stop your direct deposit if you notify them prior to that week's payroll run - we are paid on Thursday, and payroll is run on Wednesday, so if you want to change anything, it has to be done by Tuesday.

bflow...I really hope this works out for you - I know how stressed you must be. Please keep us posted!

I am soooo stressed. It will work out, it has to. I don't know when his pay period ends I just know that checks are given out on next Wednesday. You would think they could do it but?????

Our company can stop them pretty quickly also, but like mentioned, it has to be done before payroll is ran. If he does not get a paycheck until NEXT Wed, I would not know why they could not get it stopped. especially if they do their own payroll. I would have him try to push the issue on it and see what he can get done. Hope it works out for you!

Thanks 2ndband! I told him he needs to tell them that the account is frozen for fraudulent activity and see what they say to that.

Wow I hope you get this taken care of. You are right, they should be able to change it fast in this situation. I know my past jobs would have done that.
Good luck!

Calm, bflow. You're head is going to explode. First of all, I told my employer that fraudulent activity has been on my account and it is closed and direct deposit had to be stopped immediately. It was done that day. Your husband needs to tell them there has been fraudulent activity and the account is closed. They can issue him a paper check. There is no reason they can not do this, as you are stating fraud charges on your bank account. Call him and tell him to do this!

bflow, I really hope this works out. Have your husband do what everyone said and tell them about the fraudulent activity. Let us know what happens. Please relax. It will be ok. BREATHE!!! :)

It could be because the size of the company. I work for a large company and it took 2 paydates to get mine changed.

I work for a large corporate hospital and it took the stroke of a few keys to do mine and his company is much smaller, so, they should be able to do it. I think his payroll guy is just a big horses ass!!!!!

Definitely...I work for the largest retailer in the world and they were able to stop my direct depoist in one key stroke!! I haven't started direct again because I am afraid they would freeze my new account cause of chexsystem like they did Goudah...:(

bflow, it CAN be done. He needs to stress the urgency of the matter. Large corporations, small companies, third party payroll companies can all do a change in a matter of minutes. He needs to stress the fraud factor and tell them the account is closed. If they claim they can not "stop" his direct deposit for whatever reason, that's crap. We've done it for our guys and then issued them a paper check. We even had one instance where the direct deposit was already in process and at the urgency of one of our guys, we put a "stop" on the direct deposit amount and issued him a check instead. It can be done. He needs to be persistant about it.

I guess they opened a savings account for him and deposited his bonus check into it on Thursday. Here is my dilemma, for anyone out there with a banking background or anyone that knows....
They opend it with REgions and Regions just bought out my Amsouth BANK! So, if they connect the dots soon enough, they can actually take what is in the savings account, correct??? to pay off the negative checking account?

Good news....they say the two systems don't merge and I am working with the TDFI to get Amsouth/Regions to comply with my request to clear the negative balance. The TDFI says they should have already taken care of it since I did everything the way it was to be done, mailed, etc to the companies 3 days preceding the withdrawal from my account and told them to stop. The bank said.....they have no idea what type of contract I entered into with "said" companies and they would only take of the overdraft fees. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

b, great work..do not give up and let those jerks win. Did you check the banking fourm. There is an agency you can file on the bank with. Someone listed it in a thread I had going there on telecheck.

Welcome back, bflow! :D Good to see you again! roxy is right. Check out the banking forum. mca, a new member, is in charge & mca is sooooooooo helpful! I bet if you have any questions of any kind, mca can help you! Good to see you back!

Its the OCC, Office of the Comptroller of Currency.

That is good news. I will check into it.
I think the bank sucks but felt like I was stuck with the bill and was going to have to pay it. I will research it first before they get one dime.

one key stroke is all it takes with a big /semi big or even /semi small company to stop the deposits guess it may depend on if payroll is weekly bi-weekly or monthly?

With my company, which is HUGE, we can stop it ourselves on line going to the HR section of our intranet, which we can also access from home. The only criteria is that we do it before payroll for that period is officially closed, which is the Monday after the end of the pay period. If we do it after that, payroll is already being run and it's too late.
