What can you do with a large check if you have poor credit and cannot open a bank account?

Most banks in this situation would be willing to open an account. The check is for a large amount and drawn on a reputable company. Unless you have judgment(s) pending, where a bank account could be levied, there shouldn't be any problem. Walmart (believe it or not) will accept anyone with even a small opening deposit, regardless of credit status.

Does cancelling a credit card affect your credit score?
Yes, canceling a credit card always reduces your credit score. It never improves your credit score if you cancel a credit card account. If you have had the card for more than 2 years, or if you have a substantial amount of available credit at the time that you close the account, then the reduction in your credit score is even greater. However, if it makes sense to you to close the card, and you do not plan large purchases in the near future, your credit will recover without your feeling the difference.

Why did you get a refund check from GE Money Bank?
I have no idea why I received a little check for $2.19 that I did not request nor do I think I am owed.My reasoning is that it is just large enough to toss into my bank and then the company will have access to my bank account number. I think it is a scam. The only GE accounts I have are Sam's and Wal-mart and since they are active they could just credit the account instead of sending a check.Part of the message reads " This is a provisional credit. If further inquiry finds you did not have a valid credit balance, your account will then be redebited." (they misspelled re-debited)This gives them access to your bank account!!!!!!! I am not cashing this check.So beware!

The only way you can get a no credit check loan is by getting a cash advance. You will have to have a job and active checking account for the past 6 months.

If you fail to pay them back by the specified date, they will attempt to cash the check you have left them numerous times.

Does having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit affect your credit?
Their credit is not reported on yours unless they mess up the checking account itself. If they bounce a check or start getting a lot of NSF's that will be on both of you. But their previous credit cannot affect yours. First, I would like to explain to you the difference between having bad credit, and having a bad report on ChexSystems. Banks and credit unions usually report people to Chexsystems regarding delinquent bank accounts. Financial companies and lenders report people to the 3 major credit bureaus regarding delinquent accounts. So, with that said, having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit does not affect your credit. If that person goes into delinquent status with the checking account and the bank reports him or her to Chexsystems or some other check verification company, then yes your name and social security will be reported as well. Your report will stay on Chexsystems for at least 5 years, unless you have it removed by some means. There are many banks that offer promotions for checking accounts for people with negative markings on their chexsystems report. A free consumer organization called "InfoAviator" has a pretty large list of them at infoaviator.org/finance/checking-accounts/2014/05/28/how-to-open-a-second-chance-checking/
