Would have been helpful if you would have provided the check amount.  Another way to deal with this, is to take the person to small claims court.  Along with the criminal side, you will get a judgement, which affects a bad credit rating as well. \nAgain, the amount the check was written for would be the determining factor.

b - there is not enough money in the account to cover the check. This can be due to "floating" a check, which is writing a check with the expectation that the amount needed to cover the check will be in the account by the time the check arrives at your bank.

go to a different chase bank.  if their name is on the check, they have to cash it.

Did you give details of your bank account before you switched off? If not you wont be charged, if you did then call up your bank and cancel the direct debit, that way they cant get to your money. If you did it some other way just cancel it.

When someone deposits a check to their bank it gets "cleared" on two sides, your bank being one and their bank being the other.\n\nWhat happens is his bank sends your check (or possibly an electronic copy these days due to the Check 21 law) to your bank for payment.  Your bank then credits his bank the funds through the Federal Reserve.  His bank would then credit his account the amount of the check.\n\nDepending on the funds availability policies of their bank it is possible that the funds were deducted from your account by your bank and held by the recipient's bank for several more days.\n\nThat being said, a 14 day hold is very unlikely.  Even from the 12th to the 21st is a long float period.

Send a polite email saying it wasn't clear that you had to pay.\n\nAssuming you haven't used it then they may be ok with you.

Whoah.  \n\nThe fact that her check bounced due to NSF doesn't mean she doesn't have the money or can't afford the house.  She could have requested a funds transfer from another account (IRA, 401K, savings, etc) into the account she wrote the check from that didn't make the cut-off time and the check hit before the transfer, or some other really valid reason.  Stuff happens.\n\nImmediately call up the escrow agent and explain what happened and apologize.  Have a certified check or money order in hand to replace the check that bounced and cover the fee with cash.\n\nEveryone has an experience where something really important gets screwed up.  You can pretty much count on the escrow agent or the seller having had such an experience that they can reflect upon and be understanding unless they are complete and total dicks.

as long as you havw some kind of bank statements showing the amount in the account at the time she closed it out and you explain to the judge what happened you will be ordered 1/2 of that amount. exception unless she can show that all of the monies went to house hold expenses. hope you keep all of your reciepts   gino x-cop

What you should do is notify the bank.  The fact that they cashed this forged check puts them on the line. They paid money that should not have been paid. \nCriminally, it depends on the evidence, and it could be a while before anything happens.  That's why I would speed it up by notifying the bank.

Well, it isn't your fault they sent you the checks. But if you know that it is a mistake and you cash them anyway, they can probably take you to court over it. And I bet they can afford better lawyers than you...

We just received the same check.  What have you done regarding this check.  I can't find anything out either.  Our check had the same amount and post-it saying thanks.

It's a scam.\n\nThe $4,600 check is going to be returned.  You never should have deposited it because it is counterfeit and the police might think you are part of the whole scheme.  \n\nObviously, don't send them a penny and don't respond to any more of their e-mails.

They need to confirm the bank number and account number. You just write VOID in BIG LETTERS on the check so no one else can use it. It's not a big deal. Good Luck! And make sure you enter it in your register as voided.

They should clear the next day. It is a government check. However, call the bank to verify.

Who handled you court case?  Ask them for the documents that itemize the payout. Just because there is no itemization written on the check does not mean that the company did not debit different general ledger accounts and keep exact records.   \n\nYour advice in this situation should come from your attorney and your accountant.  That is if you do not want to find yourself in a mess with the IRS.  Those who advise you to run scams will not be with you when the IRS assesses tax, penalties and interest.

tell the bank so they can make a record of the mistake b/c karma is a bitch, it will always come back to you. besides you never know if the money you are spend is someone bill money...

I can tell you from experience, bill collectors will call at any time and any day. \n\nCall them back and advised them you paid it. If there's a question about that, let them know you will send them a copy of the check once it has cleared (if it hasn't yet).
