<prompt> Human: When I was really little I had a bank account at what we will call Bank A. That is where any money I got as a kid would go. I never had any information about this account or access to it, not even sure its in my name. So quite a number of years ago around the time I turned 18, I opened a bank account at what we will call Bank B. My mother went with me for this and put her name on the account as well. I have used this bank for all the jobs I had throughout high school.Over the years I realized that my mother had very poor financial habits: taking cash from me and my brother without asking or telling us, never carrying cash, etc. I didnt want this to impact me so I askedtold her to take her name off the account. I was unaware if I could do that myself.Recently I downloaded a mobile banking app for bank B only to discover nearly 1850 in withdrawals that I never made. When I questioned my mother about this she skirted the question and said that she moved it to Bank A. She refuses to move it back and I honestly have no idea if she actually put it in Bank A because I have no information about or access to it. She also refuses to take her name off the account at Bank B. She never asked me if she could move the money and never told me afterward. I would never have found out if I didnt download the app and load the entire transaction history.What are my options here? Can I force her name off the account at Bank B? Can I get my money back? A friend suggested to call the bank and report the money as stolen. Would this help or hurt?Assistant: It is not stolen because this was a joint account with your mother. You each had access to the cash inside. Pull all of the money out of your B account, start your own, and watch your finances. Human: so basically Im fucked and just lost nearly 2000?  <response>: You can sue your mother for it, but you may not win, and you may not have any money to go after. This is an expensive lesson.
