    Default Checks on Closed Account

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
    I reside in CA and had closed a business acount 2 years ago m I print my Logos for my business checks similiarly and when going through my finances realized 5 of my checks over the span of a year and a half have not cleared. When looking further into I realized that I had mixed some of my closed account checks with my real checks I almost did not catch my mistake untill I was about to do it again and looked at the bank name . I believe their may be a total of 5 checks 1 for 25 $ a year ago another for 30, one for 65 4 months ago, another for 35 5 months ago and one as recent as last month for 35.I did not hear anything from the bank except once about 6 days after one of the checks was written to see if I could come in and sign a form to shut of my safe deposit box. I am planning on calling the bank tommorow and letting the know about this . Money was never the issue ,I will have no problem paying these checks but am scared as to what may happen. I feel like a complete idiot ,my other issue is im blind as a bat and didnt even notice this error, any help would be great!!! Sorry for the errors, its late and I am stressesd!

    Default Re: Checks on Closed Account

    You've received no bounce notices from either your bank or the people or businesses to whom you wrote the checks?

    Contact the payees first, explain what happened, and ask how they would like you to remedy the situation. If you cannot contact your payees, enlist the help of your bank.

    Try not to worry too much. I had something similar happen when my bank failed a few years ago. I printed my own checks, and had been inattentive and wrote a couple checks from the account that didn't exist anymore. The payees were terrific about it, only asked me to pay the amount of the check plus their return fee, and that was it.

    It's apparently not uncommon for such mixups to occur.
