Well, you need to call the bank and explain that you didn't authorise the transfer and report the money stolen. You need to report your daughter because this is a serious crime and hopefully that will shock some sense into her and straighten her out. You don't need to press charges or sue her, just turn her in to teach her a lesson. Good Luck,and remember, she's still your daughter so never stop loving her, but deffinitely don't let her get away with what she's done to you.
And please do not listen to all this nonsense about buying a filing cabinet or lock box, changing your locks and transferring your money. Once you tell the bank what's going on, they will fix everything for you,and she won't be able to do it again. You will get your money back because all banks are required to FDIC insure up to 100,000 per customer, so everything will work out fine. |

I suggest you to cancel your bank account and move your money to another bank.
I also suggest you to buy a safe box to keep your checkbook locked at all times.
Do not carry your checkbook in your purse anymore.
If you need to write a check take only the checks you need.
Pretend you don't know she stole the money and tell her somebody stole your money from your bank account and you are filing a complain with the FBI.
If she confesses make her get a job and pay for the money.
If she does not confesses then you have raised a criminal and you should start saving to pay for her funeral or to pay for an expensive lawyer after she is arrested. |

She broke the law, you need to alert the bank and the police. |

Don't leave your check book where she can get to it. Take precautions and hide your wallet/cash etc. Take something of hers and see what she does. |

Call your bank, cancel the checks in that book(if she's stolen the whole book) and call the police..she's an adult and she's stealing and forging your name...Teach that little thief a lesson!! |

File a fraud charge against her. That might sound harsh, but she must have a drug problem or something to do something like that to you knowing you are on such a limited budget. |

talk to her, and not only do you ask for a little more than she stole (for a punishment) and then threaten to call the police. |

You obviously have the right to notify the bank and let them proceed as they will. Or you could confront her and tell her that was her last chance and demand repayment. It's your call. |

You need to call your bank and report the fraudulent transactions. Hopefully she is not on your account as an authorized user, if she is you're screwed.
If she isn't authorized, report it to the police and they will arrest her on charges of theft and forgery. |

This is SERIOUS!!! First, BEFORE you do anything else, change your bank account. When you have all the rest of your money moved, make sure you hide all checks and documents from the new account. This way, no matter what else happens, you will be able to protect the rest of your money.
I would also change the locks on your house and if she stays with you make her find a new place. You can't live with someone that you can't trust. Change the locks BEFORE you talk with her.
If you can prove that she did this, you could easily have her put in jail. It is a serious crime. I probably would do that. But most people aren't willing to call the police about their own family. If that's the case, then you will want to talk with her and insist that she give it back. Be prepared for the worst. Someone who is stealing from their family (who doesn't have much to begin with) is probably not thinking clearly. Her response will probably be something that will make you feel horrible. I would even recommend having someone you trust with you when you confront her, in case she could become violent.
Chances are, given what you've suggested, she is either doing drugs or is entwined with a new boyfriend who is 'trouble'. Either way, you need to be careful. She is under the influence of something or someone that is making her behave in ways that are unpredictable. She isn't the same daughter you think you know.
You can't afford to overlook something like this, or it will probably continue and even get worse. I hope you can find a resolution to this very troublesome danger. |

Phone your bank and cancel this account, notify them of the problem. Open a new account, do not leave your checks where they can be stolen.
Tell your daughter you will report this to the police if it happens again, and DO IT if she does. This is fraud, a felony. |

Its a very hard situation for you, you will have to confront her with the proof don't shout just ask her why she has done it, and ask her how she intends to pay you back. you cant ignore this otherwise it could happen again make sure she knows you cant afford what she has done |

It seems like she knows your account number, I suggest you do one or two things.
1. Change the account number and make it so that only you can do any kind of transaction on it or
2. Keep that account, keep a minimum of $5.00 in it, open another account at another bank preferably an online bank so she will never know. |

Take the necessary action your heart tells you to do, that will be the right decision to take. But be firm and let her know who's boss and this will not be accepted again. |

Start taking it back! No, actually, talk to her and see what she needs this money for more than you do. If it's just shopping, tell her to get a job. |

If your daughter didn't ASK you for this money, than she is a THIEF.
Do what ANYONE would do when someone steals money from you. Go to your bank and change the account number in case she kept some deposit slips and tries to take more money out at a later date.
Buy a locking file cabinet (under $100.00) and store your checkbook (and other important $ papers) in this. Don't let her know where the key is.
Do you have a power of attorney? Make sure it isn't her, because if you get sick, she will have the power to drain your bank account when you are most vulnerable.
If you have not appointed a person, contact your local senior center and ask them for free advice. They deal with issues like this on a regular basis. |
