My bank took out a substantial amount of money out of my bank account

they invested it in a higher interest rate type account.

They never asked my consent or offered the service to me.

They just did it.

I only knew it happened when i noticed the money was no longer in my account.

How can a bank act this way .

They choose the amount and boom did it .

I am so upset over the event .. I just dont know what recourses are available to me .

Can i seek compensation for this fraudulent act ?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Two people have different opinions of the following two questions. Would you please answer them for me.

1 Does the suspect in a murder trial have any say in the selection of jurors?
2 Would any relatives be allowed to sit in on this?
Many thanks

The basement of the house I rent was flooded.The landlords insurance company hired a clean up company to do the clean up.The cleaning crew turned off the switch that powers my deep freeze.(we were relocated to a hotel for 2 weeks by the Red Cross)When I got home everything in the freezer was rotten. Who do I go after to replace the contents?

I live in Calgary and i am Caucasian and having a VERY hard time finding work in the oil and gas industry even though i am fully certified, experienced and qualified for all of the jobs that i have applied to in the past. People that i know who have zero qualifications for the same jobs are getting hired. I have a very asian sound last name of LEE, whereas the people that i know getting hired with no qualifications have don’t have asian sounding names. In the past i have applied to the same jobs over and over again without success, until i meet the manager, then i get hired. I know that racism exists even in “equal opportunity” companies and even more so in private companies will always be here and is incredibly hard to prove otherwise.

I am wondering if there is any legal recourse if i used my grandfathers name of REID instead of Lee on my resumes, but sign all employment documents with my legal real name? I don’t really wan to go the route of a legal name change. I appreciate any feed back thanks.

If I am an owner of a condominium in Alberta, and I am not on the board of directors, can I get the list of condominium owners of my building? I want to use this information to gather all owners and have a vote to remove our property management company. There has been no communication and other owners are leaving notes on the PM door. It is getting ridiculous and after many attempts to contact the Board and Property Management company, I still don’t have any replies.
