????Illegally obtained funds????

[jemat48]

What is the name of your state? North Carolina
My friend was seeing a young man that moved in with her temporarily until he found a place of his own. He gave her his bankcard to keep and told her that she would handle his funds for him. He also stated that he would pay $100 a week for room and board until he found a place. He stayed with her for a month and didn't pay anything towards the room and board. He gave her access to his bank account and she went online and set up a bill-pay at the $100 a week. She has received two checks totaling $200, which is half of what he owes her. Now he is claiming that she stole the money from him. Is this considered a felony? Should she take him to court to get the rest of her money? Also, he has called her landlord and told him lies in an attempt to get her evicted. How should she handle that situation? Her landlord is aware that he, I guess you would call him an ex-boyfriend, cannot come to the property without a police escort.

A*- Sucks for her

He gave her access to his bank account and she went online and set up a bill-pay at the $100 a week. She has received two checks totaling $200, which is half of what he owes her.

A*- He doesn't owe her anything. The "room and board" wasn't contingent on his "rent". He simply offered her money in good faith. She's $200 ahead of the game

Now he is claiming that she stole the money from him. Is this considered a felony? Should she take him to court to get the rest of her money?

A*- This is a colossal waste of time. Tell your friend to be happy she got $200 and live her life.


Also, he has called her landlord and told him lies in an attempt to get her evicted. How should she handle that situation?

A*- Call her landlord and tell him/her that she has an ex boyfriend that may call and tell lies to try to get her evicted. Chances are that if the landlord is aware of his need for a police escort, the landlord just may have reason to think the ex is lying. Yes, he is an ex boyfriend. That is what you would call him.

You didn't answer the miost important question. Her main concern is whether or not the fact that she received the 2 checks is considered a felony. She has moved on with her life, and her landlord is well aware that the ex is a liar.

Also, her major concern is whether or not this is considered a felony. He is trying to hold it over her head thinking that they can get back together. She wants nothing to do with him, however, he keeps calling her and insisting that they talk things over and work things out.

Then she should just hang up the phone when he calls. The exBF can make all the noise he wants to about this bank account - bill payment stuff but until he actually goes to the police station and files a criminal complaint against her, it's all just hot air.

My guess is that the ex-boyfriend would prefer to stay as far away from law enforcement as possible. Twenty bucks says he has more than one bench warrant outstanding.
