i'm from pa. i have been seperated from my husband since feb. of 2005,in march i found a check of his and wrote it out to me and signed his name..now i have a detective calling me saying my husband wants me arrested for forgy unless i start and make payments in the amount. how long can forgery charges br good for/ please i really need advice and fast.........
Is this a real detective? If so and it were me, I would pay off the check - why take the chance of what could be a felony charge. (For that matter, if it were me I would pay off the check because it was wrong to write a check on somebody else's account.)
