Yes, banks have the ability to put a block on a checking account. This usually happens in cases of suspected fraudulent activity, concerns about account security, or court orders. Blocking the account prohibits any transactions from taking place until the issue is resolved.

They are two different things but they are related.

Yes. There are no restrictions as to who can deposit cash into a checking account. Anyone can deposit cash into anyone else's account as long as they know the account number of the account into which they want to deposit cash. For ex: I can walk into the bank branch where you hold a checking account and deposit $500 into it if I know the account number. Nobody will ask or question me as to why I am doing so…

What happens when you get a Rapid Refund from say HR Block. Is that classified as a direct deposit or a check-by-mail?

HR Block will first lend you an amount equal to your anticipated refund minus fees. It will give you this loan in the form of a check or a prepaid debit card. You will sign a piece of paper authorizing HR Block (or its bank) to open a bank account in your name and you will give them power of attorney to make withdrawals from the bank account. HR Block will put down on your tax return that you want your refund direct deposited into the bank account that you just authorized them to open. The IRS will direct deposit your refund into the bank account. HR Block (or its bank) will then immediately withdraw your refund from the bank account and use the money to repay the loan they gave you earlier. If, for any reason, the IRS does not direct deposit your refund into the bank account or deposits less than expected, then HR Block (or its bank) will pursue you directly to repay the loan.


If your checking account is a joint account with your spouse and it has a negative balance and you file chapter seven what happens to your spouse?

She needs to get a checking account in her own name, which means that you both will need to put money into the joint account until it is at least a zero. If you stiff the bank, then it will not be possible for either of you to get a checking account anywhere until you pay the amount owed. As they say, "you don't want to go there."

Can a loan be put on a Visa debit card even not having a checking account?

First of all, you cannot get a VISA debit card without having a checking (Or savings) account. A debit card does not exist stand-alone without a linked bank account. So, if your VISA debit card is linked to your bank account, then you can use it to pay for a loan. For a loan provider, the type of bank account you have does not really matter. All that matters is whether you'll repay the loan.
