In the summer of 2010 I was heading toward filing BK7, had already retained and PIF the attorney. He advised me to close my bank account and open a new one at a bank none of my creditors knew about, to "avoid potential problems". That was Wells Fargo, I closed it in early June. By July CC companies were calling like mad and Chase was the worst, they used a call center in India that spoofed their caller ID so I couldn't always who it was. It was always the same when I answered one of their calls, the person would ask my permission to charge my bank account of record - Wells Fargo - for the past due amount. I'd tell them "No, that account is closed and I don't have any money to make any payment". Well, what do you expect when you outsource collections to a third world country? At least 4 reps must have claimed I told them "Sure, go right ahead" as I got at least 4 returned item mailings from WF in July & Aug, all attempts by Chase to debit the account for a payment. WF never charged me any fees and the notices always showed the account as closed. I guess it's up to the T&C, but I would think WF would have the T&C as much to their favor as possible.

I had to close a checking account back in 2000 for the same reason; I had a credit card with the same bank that I was IIBK, and the attorney told me since it was the same bank they could possibly go after my checking to pay the credit account. As for accounts 'coming back to life', it seems the problem usually comes up when there's a deposit of some type into a closed account, then monthly fees start being assessed without the account owner being aware the account is even reopened. Also, at the bank I used a few years back their debit cards were handled by their credit card dept., who were even in a different city from the main bank office. I found out "the hard way" there seemed to be a disconnect between the two, and it was not only possible for a debit card to be approved with no money in an account, they were clear at the local branch that this was quite profitable for the bank (OD charges). Of course the law has changed and this now requires 'opting in', but to make sure there's no problem I simply report the card lost before closing the account. That seems to prompt them to put an immediate 'stop' to any further authorizations in case there is a delay in closing the card. An ounce of prevention truly is better than a pound of cure.

The issue which i am facing is it due to the problem with the service.xml (Which i dont think so..), Or is it any thing to do with the XSD file which i am using.
Can any body give me some guide lines for this ????
Thanks in advance.

My online banking website recently made some major programming changes. Since then, I have not been able to use Firefox for the banking website.
The bank help desk had me install IE 8, then clear the SSL state using a feature in IE's options/content screen. So now the new page works in IE but still does not in Firefox. From what I have learned from the bank help desk, it appears that there is some kind of an ssl hand shake failure within the one page since their changes.
Is there a similar feature in Firefox where I can clear the SSL state?First update back to Firefox 16.0.2, as staying on older versions leaves you extremely vulnerable to security holes.
Then try using [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/email-this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/email-this] -
How to design a system for a bank?
The company I work for is about to design a system for a bank. This system will be used by office clerks to help their daily works. For example they can handle bank accounts, credit cards, credit products, loans, client data, stuffs like this. It's a kind of accountant system.
As I don't want to reinvent the wheel I'm sure there are several solutions for this problem. Patterns, case studies, books, real life stories. I'm looking for them.
Would you be so kind to recommend something I can use?I don't know how big a company you're talking about.
I'd look into ERP systems like SAP,
Oracle/PeopleSoft, Great Plains, etc.The task is to implement a system with which we can help the for of the office clerks. So we don't have to implement a whole accountancy system from the beginning to the end we just have to implement some kind of frontend and services for the frontend. These services will be used by the frontend and will be connected to the accountancy system of the company ( legacy app written in Cobol ).
So I need some books, strategies, etc on how to implement, architect a tipical banking app. E.g. What does account (, banking products, loans ) really mean? What kind of tipical patterns should I use?
I've browsed the web, of course, and I have found "Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions" for example but I'm not sure this is the thing I need. I've found Martin Fowler: Analysis patterns ( closer to what I need, so I've bought it already ). For example that one has a lots of patterns I should use ( Account, Transaction, Accounting Practice ).
So I'm looking for something similar to the book "Analysis patterns" but with more with strategies and practical information on design and architectures as well. -
Can't use keychain for pnc bank website
I can't store password in keychain for PNC Bank website. Website has added security, password is entered on separate screen from userid. Also uses authentication with picture and keyword. I like added security, but would like to store password in Keychain to save strokes. Is this possible?
A workaround is to use the Notes app.
Type in user names and passwords that you can copy / paste from Notes to the sites login.
You still have to paste the data but saves time not typing everytime. -

No G/L account has been specified for O /USD for the bank
Dear All,
When i run automatic payment using F110 there are an error message "No G/L account has been specified for O /USD for the bank"
What should I do to solve this problem ?
Thank You.
-tweety-Hi,
I think 'o' is your payment method. In automatic payment program, ranking order you given payment method as 'o' and house bank. Check in FI12 for this house bank the gl account attached.

Single GL account for multiple Bank account ID
Hello all,
we are implementing bank statement integration.
First we have to define the related GL accounts CoA of course.
My problem is that we have thousands of bank accounts. usually best practice is to create one GL account for one bank account ID.
This would imply that we create thousands of GL accounts...a situation we would like to avoid
It seems possible to use one GL for several bank account ID ? However I wonder if this does not raise problems for bank statement reconciliation.
Has anyone encounter such context ? What kind of solutions are possible ?
Thanks for your help !Hi ,
For bank reconcilition purpose it is always recommended that we go by individual GL account , as it is advisable for effective and correct reconcilliation.
At least as per my shot on the subject i would recommend that for incoming and outgoing bank accounts you should create 1 GL account each for each bank . for main bank again you can rethink and make it a consolidated one .
secondly , please take the details as to how is bank submitting the information is it branch wise or are the providing consolided statement for reconcilliation .
do revert back if you are still stuck up .
Hope this suffices .
Regards ,

Document numbering for each bank
Hai Experts,
We are having multiple bank accounts.
For eg. HDFC Bank
ICICI Bank
For each bank the Incoming Payments should be serially numbered, like wise outgoing payments also should be serially numbered. As we have set in the document numbering as 100001 for Incoming payment as starting number, the voucher number generated serially irrespective of the Bank accounts. Pl. let me know how to set up document number generation for each bank seperately.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sampathhi sampath,
There is no automatic determination of numbering series in
SAP B1,This is limitation of SAP B1.
you should define numbering series for each bank in
incoming and outgoing payments.
You can set outgoing payment series(Banks) as default
for certain users and incoming payment series(Banks) as
default for certain users.
Ex:
One user will handle HDFC,ICICI Banks,
other user will handle SBI,Canara Banks.
