He wants to transfer the money straight into my bank account. Is this money then legally mine? Is there any legal action he can take if I don’t give it back? He has no access to my bank other then him having it transferred
If it is not a gift to you, then you are holding it in trust for him, and it would not be legally yours. But he would not have access to it, and if you refused to give it back, then he would have to sue you. If there is no signed agreement stating the terms by which you are holding the money for...

Do you have pending charges? Are there warrants for your arrest? If so, then at some point you'll have to deal with each case. And if you have warrants, it's hard to say whether any of them are serious enough to extradite you, but that is a possibility that you absolutely don't want.... Read more »

A friend of mine said he had done work for someone but didn't have an ID to cash a check they were paying him for the job so he had it put in my name. I went to cash this check and the bank acted a little fishy over this check and wanted me to stick around to ask the owner if it was legit. I... Read more »
Yes you could be convicted. Your defense goes to your state of mind and not knowing the check was a forgery. That can be difficult to back up. The prosecutor will almost certainly be convinced you were in on it. You should get a lawyer.
She is bedbound with expired ID but quite lucid

Go to his bank, endorse the check by signing the back of the check "his name by your name, his agent" or "his attorney in fact" and bring the power of attorney with you. The bank should have no problem cashing it unless it is for a large amount, in which case you may need to... Read more »

After 2010 no payments have been made.Bank documents show in 2012 loan was written off and in 2017 statute of limitations had been reached. Question is can the bank still hold my mortgage?

Good question. I don't think they will go to that extreme provided you stay current on payments. At the end of the day, this is all a business, and they are chiefly concerned with securing their interest in the vehicle.
Short answer: No. The reg states that no advertisement to aid, promote, or assist directly or indirectly any extension of consumer credit may state that a specified down payment, by the creditor who advertises his services.
