Early last year I received a letter from this "fine" company stating I owed $184 for a "fraudulent" check. Aside from the fact that I haven't written any bad checks, I was suspicious when it came to my former last name, which hasn't been my name since I got married in 1999.
So I called these people and a man informed me it was regarding a supposed $59 bad check I had written in November, 1999 in a state 800 miles away. (not remembering any dishonored check since my bank hadn't sent me a notice) I asked them to provide me with some documentation. He told me they didn't have any of that, just the amount due. He suggested I get a copy from the bank. I questioned him why their amount due was over 3 times the amount of the alleged check. He didn't have an answer.
Now today I get a "Notice of Transfer of Criminal Check Fraud File" saying it would be turned over to the prosecutor, and be on my "permanent record." What a crock! The statute of limitations has way passed, he cannot verify the debt, and as someone else posted, the state where the alleged check was written would be the one "after me" not where I am now. These are total lowlifes. Please, no one send them money!
