I would definitely contact my lawyer over this one. As you had moved, there might be a loophole you can slide through with. They do have the right to do this over a service charge, but if you weren't getting your mail, and they had made no attempt to contact you at your new address(assuming you had everything forwarded), there might be a chance of getting out of it. Good luck!

Double check every entry...  Best advice I can give..  Triple check by someone else depending on how important it is..

I recieved the same letter, I checked it out at the bank first had them call Chase, the check is not valid. I also called the number on the letter two nights ago at 10:23pm and was surprised when the answer I got was "What the f*ck are you doing calling so late, don't you knwo what time it is" "click" It is a scam just frame the check in the "wish it was" frame and go back to our pathetic lives

You could:\n\n1. Cash the check if the bank has a local branch or local affiliate-branch. (safest option)\n\n2. Call the bank and see what info they will verify (open account, funds availability, name of maker, no stop payments, etc.)\n\n3. Have your bank send it out for collections (which could take weeks or be returned by the paying bank if they don't accept checks sent for collections).\n\n4. Request the funds be wired to you instead or sent as a postal money order, etc.\n\n5. Deposit it, wait two weeks and call the other bank to confirm if it's been paid (it can still be reversed if it's a fraudulent check)\n\n6. Go to a check cashing place and try to cash it there. Call one up and ask what happens if it comes back. I'm guessing they'll go after you.

The M/O could "bounce" because it could be fradulent. I would contact the bank regarding the check before depositing to make sure its authentic or bring it in person to your local bank and ask them to verify it.

Ask to speak with someone higher up at the bank.  $1000 is not worth the time of the more important people, so they will just tell their staff to fix it.\n\nJust keep pushing.  They want you to take no for an answer.\n\nIf necessary, gather all your documentation and make an appt. with the highest official at the bank that you can.  Be strong and keep explaining how they are wrong.

From now on,for your own good,you really need to stop taking checks, nowadays, even a grocery store is equipped with a check system that will instantly check if the check is either good for the money it's written for or not.\nNowadays, paper checks are a thing of the past, You can take a paper check and convert it into an electronic check and instantly take the money if it was truely there.\nIf someone wants to write you a check, don't take it, instead, say that you only accept cash or credit card. If the person is able to write a check, wouldn't you agree that they can easily give you the money instead?\nI feel very bad for you to be honest, I know how you feel, you must feel rather helpless, but BUT-There are steps you can take to remedy this, I don't know how much effort you want to put towards this, but this is going to take a little....\nHow much info did you get out of this person, If you have her first and last name, you can always try to do a person search, you can go to the check writers bank and ask them if they can give you her new address, you can call the operator and ask for her new phone number, you can do a credit and history search, perhaps giving her about 6 months to settle down before pulling out her credit history search. That is probably your best bet. A credit search might cost $40 dollars or less, but when you have her address and a little complaint served to her, you can bet your buttered buns that you can recover that and some punitive damages and INTEREST.\nYou can also print out every Email and IM attempt you have made to contact her and you can present that to court of course it will be in your favor.\nHave you tried resubmitting the check to her bank? You should also try that.\nYou can also contact me and I can help you out a bit more.\nPlease contact me at betsaidaus@yahoo.com and I will surely tell you something else you can try!\n\nAnyway, whether or not you contact me, I hope you get your money back!

I'm not sure what'll happen.  I worked at the IRS last year, and some guy came in with a check from the early or mid 80s, I'm not sure what ended up happening, whether they issued him a new check or not.  Call the IRS and see what happens...800-829-1040

Contact the person whom you wrote the ckeck to, and tell them you will bring them cash, to take care of it, make sure you get your check back, ,if you dont get your check back, dont pay then untill u get it ! dont go to the D.A. office, then call the court house and ask for a hearing, show  the court  the  check, bring your proof the check, and you will half to pay the court to get rid of the warrent, if you dont have the money, they will make a payment plan, or if you do this alot they could lock you up depending on the law there , but dont worrie to much, cause, there about 6.2million bad checks , out there and the fact you come forward to take care of this they might just drop the warrent, good luck

Go back to the post office where you purchased it, take your customer receipt with you which is also your stub.  Tell them you sent it to the wrong person and that you would like to put a stop payment on it.  You will need to fill out a Form 6401 and pay a $3 fee.  The sooner you do this the better.

Sorry, but...you don't. \n\nI would suggest that you do not fax a check. They will have your account number! \n\nOnly make purchases on line thru a secure web site and use a credit card. Look for that little padlock in the lower right corner of the screen. \n\nBe safe, be smart.

call the IRS and they will cancel the check and reissue a new one.  You can also go to IRS.gov and find your answers there.

Contact Union Bank, they can help.  If you run into a problem, get a bank officer to assist you.  \n\nThere should be a record of the transaction.  While at the bank, ask if there is a Safe Deposit box, there may be some paperwork in it to assist in your search.

Well, obviously you couldn't have written them a check, right?  Because if you did you could ask the bank for bank statements dating back to about one month after you sent the check in, through till current day.\n  What did you do?  Did you send them a cashiers check?\nIf so, do you have a copy of it?  Like the carbon from the original or something?\n  You would simply go to the bank it was drawn on and ask them how to investigate whether this cashiers check was evey cashed and they take it from there.\n  What is the problem, you do not give us any details?\nIs IRS saying they have never received payment?  \n   You need to remember how you paid them, get a copy of whatever it is you paid them with, your receipt or something and start from there.  Even on money orders, I think there's a number or address on the copy so you can write and get info.  What ever you do on this, however, be sure everythingis done return receipt on any and all letters sent through the mail.  Cerified mail will be the only way to have a "paper track" of your efforts with whom ever you contact, that their company is not being helpful and too, what channels you have gone through to find out if something was cashed.\n  Banks have microfished checks................hopefully...you wrote them a check?

Yes I had that happen yesterday. Telecheck is an electronic way of processing your checks, they send it through the computer and based on your banks routing number and your own account number it contacts the banks mainframe to verify that you have the amount in your account to cover the check you just wrote. it then puts a hold on the funds and you get your check back voided out. Walmart and a lot of companies are starting to do this now because of having problems with too many people writing bad checks that bounce like a rubber ball and then not being able to get in contact with them to collect funds that the store(s) were shorted. All in all it comes down to keeping the honest people honest, unless you live in a state where they have laws that if you write bad checks you can be arrested for it and proccessed for fraud.
