My question involves criminal law for the state of: CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
CHECKS WERE WRITTEN IN GOOD FAITH, AND IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THE CHECKS BOUNCED. I'VE ASKED TO SEE THESE CHECKS RECENTLY BUT HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO PAY OFF ONE STORE IN GOOD FAITH EVEN BEFORE VERIFYING IF THIS IS SO. I'M CONCERNED.
I AM A NATIVE NEW YORKER FOR OVER 30 YRS, AND AT THE TIME LIVED
IN CHICAGO WHERE THE CHECKS WERE WRITTEN. PRESENTLY GOING ON ONE YEAR I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT ELSEWHERE FOR HEALTH REASONS.
I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT MY LOCATION WAS RECENTLY FOUND OUT, AND NO I'M NOT HIDING OUT! SINCE I HEARD THAT THE PEGASUS ACCOUNT TURNED BACK THE CHECKS IN JAN. I'VE BEEN EMAILING THE OWNER OF THE STORE IN QUESTION, AND AT NO TIME DID SHE ASK ME WHERE I AM LIVING WE JUST EMAILED, AND SHE AGREED TO ACCEPT PAYMENTS FROM ME..
WHAT'S THE PROTOCOL FOR CHECKS WRITTEN IN GOOD FAITH?
THANK YOU.

I'm confused.

Are you saying you wrote checks on a mutual fund account, only there was no money in it? You say it has "gone missing", so you really should be working with your bank to find out where the money went.

Fifteen grand is a pretty substantial amount to bounce. I'd recommend keeping close contact with the store owner, and let her know that you're working with your bank to find out what happened.

Whoa here.

Are you saying you are paying off a check that you are not sure has really bounced by sending money to a person?

Stop that.

Call your bank... today.
