Jan. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- In general, what to do if an identity thief steals your checks or counterfeits checks from your existing bank account is to suspend payments, close the account and ask your bank to notify Chex Systems, Inc. or the service check verification with which it operates. In this way, traders can be notified not to accept these checks. Although there is no federal law that limits your losses if someone uses your checks with a forged signature or use some other type of "paper", such as a withdrawal request, you may that is protected by state laws. In most states hold that those responsible for losses from such transactions are banks. Similarly, in most states require you to make careful use of your account. For example, you could be liable for losses resulting from counterfeiting unless you notify the bank on time and lost or stolen check. For more information, contact the state agency regulating banking or consumer protection. (http://www.chexsystems.info/)
