Today, my dad had something to tell me. He'd cleaned out my bank account to pay off 38,000 dollars worth of gambling debt. My wedding is in 5 months. FML

I second what #1 said - how come your dad has access to your account? If you're an adult, I thought you automatically became the main person in charge of the account and no one else could access it. Unless he stole your credit card or something? Either way, FYL for sure

Well, you still have a fiancee, and hopefully her parents? Time to scale down the wedding.

I dont believe it would be all that hard for my mother to go to the bank impersonating me with my birthdate, SSN, address and all that other personal information that she knows so well and withdraw money from my account. Its actually not that hard to do. Try going to the bank without an ID and see how easy it is for someone who knows your personal info to take out your money, especially if they swipe your debit card like I'm sure a gambling addicted individual would have no qualms about doing. Lots of people assuming stuff here. People with addictions dont always care about who they hurt in order to feed their addiction, my fiance has an aunt who would steal from family members left and right including her own semi-coherant senile mother untill she lost custody of her deaf child she used to defraud the government and ended up moving somewhere in Arizona. We all think it was drugs.

Unfortunatly that does happen. However, I do have to say, when I had a joint bank account with my mom, her name did appear on the bank statement, and my deposit tickets. I knew she was there and I didn't need her permission to remove her once I turned of age. If he wasn't on your bank account I would be heading up there and raising hell. They had no right to release money to someone who wasn't you. fyl

I would disown your father and uninvite him to your wedding. He's addicted to gambling and will do it again. If he stole his own son's money he will steal from anyone.

YDI for letting other people have access to your bank account.

If you're old enough to be getting married, why the hell does Daddums still have access to your bank accounts?

FYL for having your money "stolen." YDI for letting your dad "steal" your money. He wouldn't have legally been able to do that if he didn't have access to the account. If he isn't, then you can file a fraud report to both your bank and the authorities. Odds are less than likely that you'll get any of it back outside of suing him. Of course, since he had to steal the money from you to pay anything off in the first place, it's less than likely he'll have the resources to pay back a lawsuit either... at least without paying you back on the credit of some other company, meaning that the only way for you to get anything out of this is for your pap to go back into debt. Regarding your father's luck, karma wins yet again.
