Laws governing this issue are made by the states. Whether or not a person can be charged with a criminal act (misdemeanor in most cases) depends on the applicable state statutes. Usually the person who committed the offense is given the opportunity to make restitution to the involved party.

∙ 15y agoAbsolutely! But it can be very hard to prove fraud in these cases. The intent of the person has to be proven. If it was just a few checks and not an obvious fraudulent act, it is extremely hard to prove.

Although most of the time the person or business will try and contact you and ask that you take care of the check and fees. If you fail to respond then they have the option to contact the DA.

You are not clear about who you're making payments to: the mortgage company for your mortgage, or to the association to pay assessments that are in arrears. If you mean payments to make up arrears, and the association filed a lien on your title, review the agreement that you made with them about making payments. It's possible that filing a lien is part of your agreement in some way. Or, that the association has filed a lien against you in error. If you mean payments to pay your mortgage, and you are not paying your assessments, your association filed a lien to collect monies that you owe in past-due assessments. (You have to pay both: mortgage and assessments.) If your assessments are up to date, check with the board to better understand why a lien has been filed by the association on your title.
