    What is statue of limitation on writing checks on a closed checking account
    My brother wrote checks on a closed checking account back in 1992. One at JC Pennys for $30 and grocery store for $25... Then wrote a check for approx $600 to a building supply store to have some materials delivered to a job... but never received anything... he was planning on returning them for a refund... he moved out of state and now wants to move back home to southern Indiana... is there charges he could face at this time? Its been 25 Years ago.

    Check fraud done on a spree might end up a criminal case, but usually is a civil case. I would guess that the $600 one was never taken to court because they didn't fall for it. That leaves the smaller ones. Those are anyone's guess. J C Penny might have, because they are a chain and can take dozens of them to court all at once. Once they get a judgment, there is no statute of limitations (SOL) after that. But judgments in civil cases are matters for the companies that got them, not the police.

    I'm sure Indiana can't wait to welcome him, LOL.
    There is a lot more check checking hardware/software out there now. Little scanner that can run a check through it and get all the info needed on the spot.
