I was stupid and cashed a few checks for my sons girlfriend, thinking that the checks were from her mom. The mom comes in to my place of business and loudly demands her money or she will call the police. My sister works at the same bank as her and she said that I put my sisters job at risk because I cashed checks that were not signed by her. I went the next day to give her the money and asked her to sign a statement that I gave her her money and she refused. Ten days later I tried to use my debt card and it was refused, the bank froze my account, this was before Thanksgivin, and I have yet to receive a letter from my bank about freezing my account. I now have bills that I had written checks out for before they froze my account and now I owe return check fees for and late fees. I would really like to know if the bank can do this without informing me.

If the signiture did not match, the bank should not have cleared them.

And if the mom wants to file criminal charges against the girl, she is free to do so.

You need to go to the bank and get a copy of the attachment paper work that has it forzen, then address this issue with that court.

Obviously somebody was served or they claim they were served to have done this
