agreed.. my wife teaches in a reform school (they don't call it that anymore) The teens enrolled are forced to go, they refuse to learn, they threaten my wife while she's desperately trying to help..

My dad was a life long cop and he said there are too many victim-less offenders locked up and not enough predators behind bars..

They have a whole box of my checks.... the check company sent them to the wrong address or the DHL driver delivered them to the wrong address, I have to find out which.

I called the lawyer, who told me to call the local sheriff (rural area), they told me that if I can prove the checks were stolen, they would get involved, but only fraud can be filled at the moment against the folks that are cashing them.

Told me that the FBI will be involved after $10,000.00 but so far its only $3,300.00

I will have to set up an appointment with my banks to see what they area going to do other than reject the checks (after changing all my bank information).

I am supposed to ask them where the checks are being cashed (specifically), so I can call the banks and notify them that I am not writing the checks, so those banks can prosecute.

They are spreading the check #'s out, using them out of two or three different books.

So far I haven't been called by anyone wanting money for the bad checks, but since my bank gave me a "stop check" paper dated the 10th of april and all the checks were written after that I am not liable.

I am so fed up with this stuff right now...... somebody is going to pay for my trouble.... even if it is the company that makes the checks or DHL.

At the moment it is being left up to me to "clear" my name. At my last job before I had to start fighting cancer I was being paid $26 bucks an hour....guess I should start keeping track of my time.

Yeah, I said the same thing, the checks were all written on the 14th and 15th.... six so far now, total went up today as two more were written, now its $5,200.00

Hope they hit ten grand..... then I get to call the FBI....

Going to the auditing section of my bank tomorrow and see how much information they will give me, so I can start the legal processes.

I think I might just email the FBI and ask about check fraud and when they get involved.

LOL! I went to the FBI site and guess what? There is a local satellite office within a 10 minute drive from my house!

After I visit my bank auditing dept. tomorrow I will stop by the office and see if anyone is there to give me some heads up on what to do.
Couldn't hurt....

Well they are at it again...

Wrote another check for $960.00, and get this, the guy they wrote it out to used his cell phone to deposit it into his account.
I am not sure how to deal with this, guess I will call the lawyer back, so far its been about 12 people involved including the guy writing the checks, the Forrest Park (outside of Atlanta) police detective is not answering his messages from my bank fraud dept.
Hell the dude signed his name to one of the checks, I don't know why they cannot find him.
Its becoming a stomach ulcer type deal for me....i'm just waiting for the day some thugs come buy the house (address and phone number on the checks, so they know where i live) or some bully collection agent tries to break down my door or handcuff my wife.

Its becoming a stomach ulcer type...

Been there, dealing with another kind of criminal organization who inhabit tall, shiny buildings in big cities, that is, a health insurance company.

I ended up visiting an attorney to help me. He asked me to sit down in front of his big desk, and the first question out of his mouth was "How much money have you contributed to a political campaign in this state in the last 24 months?"

I replied, "What's that got to do with this?"

He said, "Well, pretty much everything, because the insurance companies own the state legislature."

And then he laid out his strategy for dealing with them, which worked for paying about 98.5% of $40,000+ worth of bills, after 18 months and a couple bill collectors getting nasty. After it got down to a few hundred $$, I just paid the rest off.

It's amazing how you can go into a hospital, and 27 different people can legally bill you. I think even the janitor charged a few grand for emptying the trash can in the operating room. I think a few just walked by the door and decided to bill just for peeking in.

Sad thing is, even after insurance had paid some one medical provider, they sent the bill collectors after me. It took three months of hassle, and then finally, one of the girls that you talk to on the phone said this to me, "Oh, I checked the other computer system, and the insurance payment is recorded there.  I'll call the bill collectors and tell them to stop collection."

Collection stopped.  The other computer system, dontchaknow.

If I operated under as poor of business ethics as them, I'd be in prison for fraud.  Mainly because I don't have a lobbyist.

Don't you have the other fellers address too ?   It seems to me , that they should be sweating it out that you don't "Look-them-up" ...     Bunch of Druggies (wouldn't be Druggies-if they had anything between their ears).

or

Do nothing:

Its not costing you anything at this point , so maybe you should trust the good Lord and your pocket pistol to keep things right !

Go find a Lawyer who will try anything and put em on the case -- heck give the lawyer a 50/50 split on the take and let them go at it !  


This story is better than watching TV !
