I have asked the bank to release the information of the person who cashed the check but the bank declined and said because of privacy issue. I have also reported to the local police and they did not press any charges. I have the copy of the check and the account of the person who cashed the check but there is no signature. I really don't know what should I do at this point. Could any one give me advice?

You need a lawyer. Best place to start is to check the Yellow Pages for attorneys that give free initial consultations. Sounds to me like you have a legitimate case, and a lawyer can request the name of the individual who cashed your check for you. If the bank refuses, it's possible that the laws of your state will allow you to have a judge order the bank to release that person's name. Even if the police refuse to charge this person with forgery and bank fraud, you can still file a civil case against this person for the amount of the check plus court/attorney fees and any inconveniences you suffered as a result.

If it is your own personal check you can check with your bank and see if they will put a stop payment on the check. That will force the bank that cashed the check to return the money (I bet they get real interested in doing something about it then). You may have to pay a small fee of $20.00 or so. Or if it was a payroll check from your work you can report it to the payroll department and they can do the same. Your success with this may depend on how long ago this happened.

So are you telling half the story trying to make yourself look bad? You're not making a great deal of sense. You complain about their not trying to call your parents but from your own telling it appears that they did try. You say you cash checks there all the time for our parents, but why then did nobody recognize you? Why would you cash a check to make a car payment? Most people send a check or make the payment online. It sounds like they tried to avoid a scene and YOU made one. So by the way, did you actually have a question?

If it was a personal check on your account, you should be able to file charges against the person. If it was your paycheck or a government check, you have to go to whoever issued the check and have them contact the bank where it was cashed. You really don't need information on the person who cashed the check; the police can get that information if you can prove that a crime was committed.

it depends, some banks are really anal about giving back funds. My bank however, if you come in and talk to someone and tell them your checks were stolen, all you do is fill out this form and they would probably try to find out more on the check to see if you can be refunded. But the bank will NOT give you anyone else's information regaurdless. You can't do anything about that. Best advise try the bank and ask them to research it, they can do that. If you didn't sign the check and they can verify it, maybe something can be done

Go back to (or call) the Police Department & ask to speak directly to the Detective who is in charge of investigating your case. He/She should give you a CASE NUMBER. Write it down. They can not press charges until they complete their investigation & have enough proof on the person who is the suspect. Show the Detective everything you have, so that it will help them & ask them to please keep you advised. Go to the person or company who issued the check to you & explain the situation to them, giving them the detectives name & telephone number & case number. Ask if they could re-issue the check because it was stolen from you & cashed illegally. Sometimes they will do this, but if they don't you'll just have to wait until the detective contacts you. It could take up to 6 months, so be patient. Call the detective every 2 weeks & ask how things are going.

If it's a small amount ($100 or less), I would just drop it- it's not worth the extra time, money, and inconveience to go after this case. If it is more, you can try going after the cashing bank if there is no signature, "For Deposit Only" stamp, or ID numbers, since they aren't following their own security measures. You can try going through your own bank (or the bank it was drawn on) to get it resolved if it was a stolen and/or forged check. Talk to them and see what they can do for you.

You can make a claim against the bank. They were negligent in cashing the check without ID or a signature. Take the bank manager to small claims court.

Tell your bank, and if they don't do anything Contact your state Attorney General. My bank ( Wells Fargo ) is great at pushing these things, they can get your money back and make the bank that cashed the check worry about getting their money back. I think it is called uttering a forged instrument, which is a felony.
