What is the name of your state? Colorado. The Third Amendment " No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. " What is the person was not a soldier, could the government force you...

escheatment laws only apply to the dead under the theory that they no longer have any right to it. The constitution does say the government can't seizure of property. Due process is needed to take the money in the first place. Citizen bank account are not an open buffet for a greedy state...

This problem did not exist until recently when they changed the rules to steal more money. The state government is the one doing the praying not the financial institution. Everything you mentioned could be fixed if you did not allow the financial institution to keep money they would normally...

I have a lot of " set it and forget it " type investment, long term CD that literally require no action or there is nothing to do in the account. Taxes on paid, mail is received, the bank is called for other issues. There is no reason for the state to come in and take money that I know its...

They did when AZ passed a law against illegal aliens that just mirrored the federal law. They did when states passed laws banning gay marriage( don't see that in the constitution) They did when state passed laws against Obamacare. They did when state passed Voter ID requirements. They did on...

In a period of 1 month, your previous post office lost 50% of the packages I ordered from both Amazon/Ebay. Many of the tracking number showing they entered the post office then disappeared. While waiting in line, the person in front of me was told they had given his $1,000 Camera to the wrong...

So people are not entitled to the money they earn? They have to constantly have their hand on some bureaucratic version of a dead man's switch to keep the state from taking it at a moment notice? The government is the one introducing into your bank account. What business do they have to take...

OK, but here is the thing. The address of the owner is still VALID! The owner is receiving mail on the account. Also, the owner is paying taxes from the money earned in the account. That is activity. There is no reason to suspect the person is dead. These rules if you look them up dead with...

In America, you are innocent until proven guilty. By that same token, you are alive until proven dead. You have to prove to me routinely that you are not dead or I will assume you are dead and take all your stuff? Does that sound like America to you? So do you have some old Jetski that you...

I was actually on vacation and when I return USPS had boxes of mail that they held for me while I was away. In this large box of mail, there was 1 letter saying they were going to take my money unless I responded by a deadline which had already passed. I also routinely get mail from my...

I was just using NV as an example of corrupt cops using asset forfeiture on tourist traveling to Las Vegas to gamble. The cops would just stop them and ask them how much money they were carrying then take the money without accusing them of a crime or making an arrest. There are actual video...

YES YES and YES! Finally someone who gets what I'm talking about. Especially for people who are into it for the long haul. Some people are like day traders or arbitrageur trading minute to minute and some people are going to invest in the market and not concern themselves about the daily...

Yes, I think the state is the real problem behind this. However I wish the bank would do more to fight back against this. I guess if all the smaller account were somehow ground into 1 master account so calling about any account would be activity on all the account this might help. However I...

I called the bank 2 weeks prior and asked them if there were any issues that needed my attention. They said that everything is fine, no fraud alerts,etc.. I said great. I get home from vacation and see a letter saying they turn over my money to the state. I also had American express gift card...

What happens after that period of time? You are unable to get your money back or its just harder to do so. These are laws which deal with dead people not the living. How can you take someone money because they did not friend you on facebook? That does not pass the smell test. You would never...
