    Default In Process of Filing and Now a Victim of Check Fraud

    My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Ohio

    I started my bankruptcy process back in late September, and during that time, a so called close friend of mine, asked me to do a favor for her and cash 2 checks for her for school, a car and to move into another home, she claimed the checks were from a close relative's boyfriend, and i trusted her and cashed them. Now my account is $4000 in the negative and it was charged off. I immediately called the police when I was unable to reach the man who supposedly issued the checks to me or her and now the bank is coming after me for the money. I was even contacted by a detective to forward a statement in the case of passing bad checks and theft by deception against her. I also went to the prosecutors office about the issue and it's been a month and I've heard nothing other than the case is on hold. I recently found out she was put in diversion for doing the same thing to someone else in another city. My question is, is it possible at all to include this bank account in my chapter 7?

    Default Re: In Process of Filing and Now a Victim of Check Fraud

    An overdrawn bank account is a debt just like any other debt. If the debt was incurred prior to filing the bk it is included in the bk. If the account was overdrawn after you filed the bk you are stuck with it.
