I wanted to let everyone know that the State of California is using some legal means to take money from bank accounts with no notice whatsoever. This just happened to me through Wells Fargo and I will be dealing with the matter after the weekend when their offices are open. Does anyone have experience with this? I lived in California over 10 years ago but I have no idea what this can possible be for.
Moving to California 10 years ago was your first mistake.
No. Nothing like that. I left Cali with no attachments, legal or otherwise. This was 11 years ago ffs! 11 years! I get no mail from any Cali address. I was only there for 2-1/2 years. Totally temporary life circumstance change for me. I’ve been living in Alabama ever since and life is great here. Cali sucked. ...God did it suck....
I’ve been using Old Glory bank for years. So far all good.
“I cant believe that this is legal.”
It is not, it is unconstitutional because there is no due process and it presumes guilt. A computer just does it automatically without any court process or chance to defend yourself. There are no judges or legal due process involved at all.
I had it happen to me. And they came and took it out of my account in another state. There are several cases where they are now doing this automatically without due process.
1. They presume you owe any sales taxes collected from customers through your business whether you did or not. You are automatically guilty and they bill you an estimated amount and take it directly from your account anywhere in the U.S. you have funds.
2. They presume you owe any State income taxes to the state of Ca. whether you do or not.
3. If they have an automobile in their system that has expired registration they automatically take out the fees and fines to bring it up to date as registered. Even if it has been relocated to another state and registered in another state. If they still have it in their computer they will take the fees.
Note about #3, they will NOT take it out of their system. It took me three years to have them take a vehicle out of their system after I moved to Az. They completely ignored all my efforts and proof that it was no longer in Ca. and had been registered in another state for years. They sent me re-registration bills with fines for three years anyhow. Now they have a computer that just automatically hits your bank for these re-registration fees whether you even owe them or not.
It is completely unconstitutional. You are presumed guilty, no court process, no judge, they do not serve you, and you have no chance to defend yourself before the action is taken, and a computer just goes and takes your money. This really needs to be addressed.
The only negative with Old Glory is they don’t have local branch and if you get a check over $10k (I believe -IE insurance check) you have to cash it or deposit it in a local bank. There’s many options for this and having two accounts at two different banks. One local and one Old Glory..with everything transferred to Old Glory.
Captian Obvious....LOL....that was funny. Sorry this happened to you and sorry for some of the useless “obvious” Answers. Good luck.
Auto registration “issues” and related taxes and fees are very common—and probably the most likely scenario.
FDIC insured.
I was under the impression only the IRS could go in and take money from a bank account with no notice or court order or anything. Sorry....good luck.
This is probably taken by Daffy Newsence for his Campaign. It costs a fortune to buy a seat in California. You have to bribe everyone.
AI says a State can take money from your bank account. I guess that’s the State Franchise Board in California. One would think they would be required to give the reason. Dang....
I think I can see your problem here...all the way from Michigan, bruh..
Out of curiosity, I did a little more digging. According to the link below, California taxes its residents on world-wide income. A problem arises if you permanently leave California, but California thinks you’re still a resident.
From that link:
“California fights aggressively to keep you in the “resident” category, even after you’ve moved away. They have sophisticated audit procedures designed to catch people who think they’ve escaped but haven’t properly severed their ties.”
Crazy.

Where you drinking, a liberal, or just stupid?
Maybe they THOUGHT drugs were involved.
You want me to call them for you? Why do you have to wait until Monday? With your face it would be better to do business over the phone.
Call them right now or you made all of this up!
