<prompt> Human: This is my first post ever so Im sorry if my formatting is terrible. I just graduated college and Ive been saving money to move out. I had to save a lot because I owe a lot in student loans, but I want to move out because my mom is really emotionally abusive and I dont think I cant take it for much longer. I have been paying her rent every month and I use checks as the form of payment. I made a Chase college account a few years ago which means my account is attached to my moms. I went to the bank to have my account removed from her statements and be independent of her account. My banker was totally confused and Im not sure if he got the job done but Ill stop by again and double check with someone else. My question is: Can she access my account or account information with the routing and account numbers on my checks? I have a strong feeling she is recording them. I already have an online account so she cant register me using the numbers or anything. I actively monitor my account activity but I dont want to feel like I always have to watch out for a knife in the back from her. Im trying to go 100 no contact, even if I have to create a new bank account - but I really wouldnt like to if I dont have to. Please help, thanks in advance!Assistant: I made a Chase college account a few years ago which means my account is attached to my moms.

Shut down the chase bank account completely and go open a new account somewhere else.Human: Youre right, the confused banker does kind of raise a red flag haha. Thanks!  <response>: Its not even that. There are countless stories of banks allowing someone access to an account that they previously had access to, especially a parent. Even if removing that person is done correctly and the banker is confident, another banker later can still mess it up.The cleanest safest thing to do is remove all the money from the account, close the account, and open a new account at a completely different bank or credit union, preferably one where your mom doesnt have an account already.
