    Is this criminal
    I'm back. Refresher: My (former) friend asked me to lend her $2500 for her daughter or
    Her daughter would lose her home. I did what she asked: Withdrew $2500 from my bank
    a/c and made a deposit into hers. I signed her name on the deposit slip. Is this
    Criminal?

    I didn't follow through with Small Claims because her daughter started to pay me back
    She paid me $700 in almost two years and stopped paying me about three months ago.
    She owes me $1800. Now I really want to go to court. Should I sue the mother for
    $1800... my proof of emails and bankbook proves the daughter made these payments
    And missed some payments. I have emails with the mother's request for all of this too.

    Should I do this with a lawyer?? Or the service online..

    If the daughter is the debtor you sue the daughter.

    Hello jammy:

    The daughter is your debtor, but you made the agreement with the mother. Sue 'em BOTH.

    The only time you are required to sign a deposit slip is when you get cash back. Anybody can make deposits into an account if they have the account number.

    Haven't we been through this entire scenario before -

    If we have, again. If not, for the first time.

    The person who borrowed the money owes it to you - if the mother borrowed it it doesn't matter that the daughter paid it back or the other way around.

    There is no connection between you and the daughter IF the mother asked for a loan. How it was handled, the deposit slip and so forth, the payments, all of that is immaterial.

    You may disagree with EXcon but he is very correct, sue everyone, OK the judge may or may not hold one or the other responsible, but if both are working you have a better chance of getting the money if you can connect the dots to show that the loan was in reality given to both.

    At the worst, the one will be held liable in court the other will not be, but you will not ever hold both of them responsible if you don't include both in the law suit. Legal issue, always sue to the people with the most money if at all possible. Next no this is not criminal, not sure why you signed anyone's name, deposit slips are not signed.

    I've used credit unions my entire life, and many of them have required ID and signatures for every transaction. I'm not sure why, but that's their rules, and it does stop a stranger from putting money into your account.
