Can I get introuble for writing my ex-boyfriends checks?

rita_alabama

Yes, that is check fraud. If your name is not on the account, then it's not your money to spend, and you are breaking the law to write checks in his name.
If he chose to press charges, he could have you arrested. The best thing to do would be to talk to him and work out a plan to repay the money without having to involve the police.

Babycakes

YES and do Jail time

Dane

It is fraud, yes you can be arrested. Better get his permission, in writing. How was he not going to know?

ramjet

O honey you are playing with fire. Good that you stopped, but expect some sort of repercussion once he finds out.

sheesh

Goofball

Yes.

jaye580

another yes from me

QueenChristine

Uhhh, if he decides to press charges, yes, you can go to jail. You signed is name illegally and took money of his (by using his checkbook). The check you wrote was essentially fraudulant.

Pray he doesn't press charges. I hope you learned something.

catwoman

yes he can have you arrested. that is considered check fraud.

Richard B

You stole money from someone. Pay him back quickly, with interest.

Victor ious

Your fate is 100% in his hands now.., and if he takes a notion at any time can have you arrested. I'm not even sure if there is a statute of limitations on something like that.

The only thing you can do is (a) pay him the money - and - (b) see a lawyer ASAP! He could hold something like this over you head for a long time, or he could just have you arrested any time soon. So see a Lawyer.

fr_chuck

actually yes you are a criminal, it is called check fraud. Not just a bad check that bounces, but writing a check that you are not on the account.

And of course you had a choice of not writing one.

Yes you can go to jail for this. And yes it is possible, if he presses charges on you

gablueliner

In Georgia that is called Forgery in the First Degree and it's a felony punishable by a hefty fine and prison time.

greatestmomof4

Well it is against the law. But maybe he won't do anything if you pay him back. When you say he took "our car" is your name on the car too? He can't just take the car from you and leave you with nothing but you shouldn't have wrote out his checks either.Best thing for you to do is call him and see what he says.

jo l

definitely

nevisgent

Yes, that's fraudulent.

Marti M

Yes, it's breaking the law. If he presses charges you can be in big trouble.

Mittys Momma

You betcha you can get arrested. It would be called forgery, and possibly possession of stolen propriety. I hope you will understand, maybe you can volunteer and pay him the money before the statement comes in. Regardless of the situtation, you know that that was stealing, right?

Mariposa

Yep. It's fraud

â™¡cheleâ™¡

yes!

a heart so big

yes, it's forgery and if he chose to press charges, you'd be in trouble. Offer to pay him back and hope he won't report you.

knowitall

yes. if you are not on the account he has every right to. so be a adult and own up to it and try to pay him back.

shrty0525

Yep. You can go to jail for that.

You did have a choice.

If/when you pay him back - do it with a m oney order and take him to a notary to get a notarized statement that you paid him back...

Otherwise he can take the money, then claim you never paid him and still get you arrested.

amy02

How did you get people to accept the checks when your name isn't on the account? :-(

Mandy

yes it is fraud, and against the law, sorry to say but you might do jail time if he reports you.

.45 Peacemaker

Yeah it's a felony.

someonecanbme

gee-did the pizza sauce contain narcotics?

mtryfena

please ask your xbf first if that's ok to write a check. if he agrres, I don't see any problem....

Playin A
