    Bad checks forged from my account
    My mother forged bad checks out of my account and they still have ME on the telechecks system. She is doing time in prison for forgery right now. Should I still be in the system? Should I have to pay it back? What should I do?

    Was your mother ever arrested for forging your checks and did you press charges? If she did this and you did not notified anyone that a forgery had taken place you might be stuck with the bills.

    Sign a notarized affidavit stating that the checks in question were forged and by your mother (if you know that to be the case ; if you aren't sure who the guilty party is, then just state they were forged by an unknown, unauthorized user) and that you never authorized any charges reflected in the checks in question. Provide copies to your bank and ask that your account be re-credited the amount of the checks in question. Also provide copies to anyone else affected by this forgery, such as creditors you've attempted to legitimately pay from this account but weren't able to because of the missing funds, etc.
