FirstMerit Bank Bank account or service deposits and withdrawals April 23, 2015 - I had a $600.00 withdraw taken from my husbands checking account that I am joint on. He has worked hard and overtime for his money for months. They claim there is a checking and savings charged off from 2008. I have no clue what this is from.
