What is the name of your state? Indiana
Recently, I had a bank CD at a local bank. About three months later, the CD wasa closed out, and not be me I add. Turns out the bank's legal department told them to cash it out because they had been told by some government office, the clerks office I think, in Cleveland. I do not live in Cleveland. I live in Indiana, the west side of Indiana. So it turns out there is this girl who has the same name as me and got in a car accident and couldn't pay for the damages (I'm not too sure on that part, it's a little fuzzy) and while doing some sort of search on her name, they (the clerks office or someone) found out that someone with the same name has a CD in Indiana. They called the bank's legal and the legal called my bank and the CD was cashed out. Now, when I findo ut about this, I am pissed. Well, we got that all taken care of, but my question is this: if there is a black mark on my credit report about this, what can I do? Is there grounds for a lawsuit here?
