How do I prove that my ex deposited my paycheck?

Question

My soon to be ex depostied my paychecks into an acct that we used to pay our bills and each of us had access to by the way of a debit card. The acct was in his name only. I was STUPID, I know but I trusted him. I just found out a check I wrote bounced when I know that there were funds to cover it. When I called my ex, he said he closed the acct not too long after we split up. W/O his permission, I can't get his financial records so does anyone know what I need to do to prove that my checks were deposited into this acct.? Or is my only option to call an attorney to get his financial records? I know I could say that too bad, the check has his signature so he wrote it but that would screw the person who I wrote the check to. I just want to know how to prove that part of the $ was mine.

Answer 1

well you are saying that the account was in his name but you wrote the checks? its kind of miss leading.
if the account was in his name....
and you endorsed your paychecks and gave it to him (for the acc. on his name).......
well then the money is gone.

if it was a joint account then u can get the bank statement and prove your case...but like i said if it was only his account and u signed your paychecks and gave it to him....then the money is gone....you can go to court and try to prove your case but the lawyers fee would be at least 300 dollars + court fees of at least 120 dollars.
so i don't know....if its a huge amount then u should sue him and if not then just let it go.....smash his windows or something to get your revenge but the money is gone as long as you signed your paychecks and gave it to him.

Answer 2

The person who issued you the check, your employer, likely has a copy on record of the blank or can obtain a copy of the blank. This will show whether who signed it and to what account it was deposited. It would be worth your time to explain the situation to them and ask for this information. However, if he deposited your check and you gave him permission to deposit your checks into his account (this is NOT a joint account as your name is not on the account), you may have no legal recourse against him.

If you are talking about an ex-husband, half the account's money should belong to you. If you are talking about an ex-boyfriend, you have no legal claim to ANY money in his account if he deposited the checks into that account with your permission.

Answer 3

Get your own account and don't give your dufus ex any more of your paychecks. Its clear he's being a jerk.

You might be able to check with your employer to see if the check was cashed.

How can YOU write checks that only HE had access to? If you have a debit card, see if you can get recent transactions on it via atm or online. If you're not on the account, the bank won't give you info.

Why would you have an account and deposit YOUR paycheck in account that was in HIS name only.

Geez-- protect yourself!

Answer 4

He signed it, bank records should indicate time and date, video camera at bank should prove every thing else. If you can find out the time and date of deposit, perhaps you could convince him that the police are getting involved and scare him into giving you your money back. Or, to get the bank to look it up you could tell them that your check was stolen, then they would be more than happy to help you, because the check was basically stolen, the funds were stolen from you

Answer 5

Well some banks will if you ask the question correctly...such as... my boyfriend has given me a check $X.XX amount, if I deposit it, will it bounce, they will tell you yes or no. At least that way you have an idea of what's in the account. Secondly, you can always get with your employer to see what was banks info was stamped on the check once it was returned to them. Good Luck! Don't feel to bad, just get it straight and consider it a wisdon earned!

Answer 6

in case you've been issued paychecks and did not funds them, fee replaced into nonetheless made and is income to you. to boot getting an legal professional, you are able to request the IRS transcript showing how a lot replaced into paid to you from this employer. Your economic employer archives ought to teach any deposits out of your small employer, or lack thereof. something would not upload up, on condition that in case you renounce your pastime you need to no longer eligible for unemployment.

Answer 7

i guess it depends on the finicial institution. I work at a credit union, and if both of you are on the account either has rights to close the account at any given time. We see a lot of couples go through a devorce and realistically it is first come first serve when it comes to the money until it goes to court

Answer 8

Talk to the yoru payroll person or controller. Have him call the bank to send a copy of the back of the check.......IMMEADIATELY have the payroll person give you the check ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!! If your ex has forged your signature, call the DA and tell them and make sure you have copies of checks with YOUR signature that you have written.....good luck!

Answer 9

You will have to get copies of your signature , copies of your cheques and the endorsements.Get a lawyer and sue . Or get on one of the TV court room shows. Judge Judy is a tough old hen on women so get one of the others.

Answer 10
