Are criminal background checks the same as finger print background checks?

No, criminal background checks and fingerprint background checks are not the same. Criminal background checks use a person's name and personal information to search for criminal records, while fingerprint background checks involve comparing a person's fingerprints against law enforcement databases to check for criminal history. Fingerprint background checks are considered more accurate and comprehensive.


What is the penalty for writing bad checks?

If you make the check good and call the creditor right away, there shouldn't be much penalty beyond the NSF fees from the bank and the creditor. The trouble comes if you write a check without an account or on someone else's account--regardless of the amount.


Do background checks go back only 7 to 10 years in Florida?

No. Criminal background checks may review an individual's history for a lifetime. However, records are only available if a local law enforcement agency has submitted the subject's fingerprint card. You may find more information at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's website and even run a background check online for $24.00. Because this site does not always allow links you may find the background search site by searching "Florida Department of Law Enforcement, criminal history information search".

What is the penalty for writing a check on a closed account and how long does the issuer have to make restitution?

Do you mean criminal penalty, or civil? If you are asking about a criminal situtation, and if the transaction took place in CA, then the offense could be a felony. You could be sentenced to prison for up to three years. The difference between a closed account and an NSF "check fraud" case is that many, many people write nsf checks without knowing that their accounts were too low. In the situation you are asking about, a person would presumably know that his account was closed when he wrote the check. Therefore, he had the criminal intent to defraud. So, the penalty on the closed account: possible prison. Penalty on the NSF account: if check fraud was not involved, then I suppose the usual returned check fee from the bank and the fee from the merchant.
