A person should not use any check fraudulently. Any action that attempts to get money from a check that doesn't belong to you or shouldn't be cashed is considered fraud. It is a crime.
Sounds like a CRIME as you can ONLY Sign your name, you can FORGE someone Else's
If the check was credited and you have not heard from bank then there should be no problem.
A check signed by someone who is not authorized to sign it is a forged check.
Yes, it is illegal to fill out a signed check because altering a signed check without authorization is considered forgery and is a criminal offense.
If your name is on it and you have not signed it then they can not legally cash the check. I've seen someone from the mortgsge co forge the homeowners name to cash it before though.
If you have already signed and cashed the check it's probably too late now. The endorsement area on the back of most insurance reimbursement checks contain a phrase to the effect that by signing/endorsing the check you "accept" the proffered settlement as payment in full. You could try taking them to Small Claims Court.
Yes, a check must be signed in order to be considered valid and legally binding.
The person being stolen from and misrepresented would have a civil action against the stealer on the basis of fraud and they may well be criminally prosecuted in addition if there's good evidence. The financial institution behind the cheque would have suitable insurance to cover it and should pay the person back any money fraudulently taken from their check account.
The signed check would be valued in price close to $700. The amount will vary depending upon when it was signed and its condition.
Yes, altering a check, such as adding additional words or numbers after it has been signed, is considered check fraud and is illegal. If someone alters a check without authorization, they can be prosecuted for forgery and fraud. It is important to never alter a signed check.
If you owed money on the car (which is probably why it was repossessed), you need to pay what they demand. Check the paper you signed when buying the car if you think they are 'demanding' something different than you signed. Your girlfriend was smart to cancel the insurance, since a repossessed car does not need insurance. You cannot sue your girlfriend for calling the car lot, or for cancelling the insurance, because you cannot show DAMAGES to yourself.
