Sex, Drugs and Credit Abuse…

You may already be aware that recently in the news Adult Industry actors have had their bank accounts closed by a major bank with no apparent reason. Though they did not confiscate the funds, it seems this particular industry was being targeted.

Typically access to closing your bank accounts are limited to certain entities and can be for multiple reasons like too many overdraft activities and Government or IRS actions. Even though the funds were not attached in this case, funds can be attached through “DUE RECOURSE” from litigation, court order seizures and illegal activities discovered by authorities normally called “Asset Seizures”.

Government entities can also withdraw funds from your bank accounts when there are other government obligations due and gone unpaid. Typically there are warnings prior to them performing this action. This can also include Unpaid Student Loans gone to collection or overpayments or discrepancies of overpayments through the Social Security System or accounts through Military Payment Accounts.

As world views and laws change, owners of Cannabis Dispensary and Medical Marijuana Companies that are legally thriving in their jurisdictions are excluded from obtaining Business Bank loans for Business Equipment Funding or Expansion Capital. These are called “Restricted Industries”. Stem cell research in its infancy had similar issues.

How this may impact you and your bank if “Due Process” is not observed today what can we expect tomorrow? Other financial persecution has included in the past Zip Code Red Lining in which the practice has been outlawed in the 70’s within poor neighborhoods where higher interest rates were being charged.

Persons of common last names have mistakenly been put on the OFAC SDN LIST on a Credit Report as a BLOCKED PERSON or entity of which we have observed by us too many times to count. This inclusion can be ERRONEOUS where they are reported on the credit by the Government Agencies lists as; Terrorists, Drug Cartel, or Money Laundering Activity: Blocked Persons List May 1st 2014; OFAC SD HERE

This inclusion is difficult to remove and though we want to strongly support security processes for the country and most law abiding folks, this accidental inclusion can ruin any potential career as credit is now pulled for a variety reasons.

These are just a few examples of how we continuously see credit entities apply misinformation applied to credit and sometimes abused.

The flow chart for legal attachment of bank funds through collections can be seen as follows:
