Withdrawing from Closed Account

I lost my job and closed my checking account. Can a business try to withdraw money from my closed account?


The check would be returned due to the closure of the account, and they can't force your account open or into a negative balance. The person holding the check could consider legal actions in some jurisdictions for theft by check, depending on the circumstances.
