stolen checks & fraud check
my sons checkbook was taken out of
his glove compartment. Checks were
written that added up to $2,800.
(his line of credit was used also)
checks started bouncing before he
noticed.He has tried to clear this up
with his bank branch.He thought it
was.But it wasn't.He tried again.
Then he started getting calls from
the bank,stating he owed the
amount.When he didn't pay it they
turned it over to a collection. They
have called me (his mother)& my
daughter.My son is vacationing in
the mountains and I can't reach him
till Monday.The woman who called
me told me if it isn't paid today
(yesterday) a warrent for his arrest
would be taken out on him. I'm
worried sick.I live in WI. he lives in
UT.
We got him out of debts that he
racked up ten years ago, when he
was in college. We did this 2 yrs. ago
hoping to start repairing his
credit,which of course is awful---then
this nightmere started.
Who should I contact for help guide
him?
Re: stolen checks & fraud check
First: Has he filed a police report re: theft?
He should also make an insurance claim (Homeowners or renters ins.)
Second: He ( or his attorney ) should write the bank and any 3rd party collection agencies to Cease and Desist all further communications except to his attorney.
Third: The bank account holder agreement should be reviewed for liability for forged checks which should have been dishonored by the bank.
Call for more assistance.
