Seized Bank Accounts
In my state, if you forget to do a transaction in a bank account for one year, the state of Georgia confiscates your money. Good luck on getting it back.
The account is called a "dormant account." It's fair game for the tax man.

They do the same in your state. Have you checked the time in your state for an account to be declared dormant? Do. Soon.
I have some very savvy subscribers. They post goodies on the forums. (My site has a lot of forums.) Here is a recent post on dormant bank accounts.
"The key to prevent issues, especially in this day of electronic banking and automatic payments is to set up an automatic deposit of say $10.00 every 6 months to each of your accounts from your main active bank account. This should forestall any issues, and won't even cost you a stamp.
"Similarly, if you don't use a credit card, they may close it after a period of time, which may affect your credit score. Therefore I charge a tank of gas on each of my inactive cards every year just in case - just be sure not to forget to pay it."
Don't let the state do this to you.
