Can a bank seize money you owe if your cashing a check at there bank in your name?

Yes, a bank can seize funds from your account or hold checks if you have outstanding debts owed to them, such as loans or overdrafts. This is often done through a process called setoff, where the bank applies your deposits to cover what you owe. However, this typically applies only to accounts held at that bank. If you're cashing a check at their bank, they may still have the right to withhold or apply those funds to your debt.
