This all began when I got a letter from CheckCare saying that I had bounced a check to a "Charles Good Cheer" Or something similar. I immediately called CheckCare, to try to figure out who the payee really was, and had to leave a message.

The check in question, wasn't listed in my register, and my online statement didn't show that check number, nor any transactions with a matching amount. Anyhow, long story short, I've sent checkcare 2 letters now, and left several messages asking that they send me a copy of the check, for my verification, all attempts to communicate with them went unanswered.

Now, they've gotten the City of Columbus (this check was apparently written about 40 miles out of columbus, to a place in a different county even) to file suit against me or something similar. I finally got ahold of someone at the local checkcare office today, and they are refusing out and out to send me a copy of the check now, stating that they don't have time to, and wouldn't care to, if they did.

Now, if I did, in fact, write them a check, I wouldn't mind taking care of it, as oversights happen, but it looks to me, like I did not, and they're refusing to prove it. I'm not entirely sure what to do now. I don't beleive the city that they're having prosecute me even has any right to be involved, as they're far far away from both the payee, and myself. Not even in the same county.

Apparently they're just trying to harass me....

AUTHOR: Matthew - (U.S.A.)

Finally got a straight answer from the Columbus City Attourney's office. Seems that they have no right to pursue me. I Had to repeatedly ask my question in writing to get them to admit this, but apparently, for them to pursue an individual, the following must be satisfied:

**Check was passed in Franklin County.

--Nope, Was in Delaware County.

**Check was drawn on a bank in Franklin Co. or a contiguous county.

--I beleive the bank in question is actually HQ'ed somewhere in Texas, it's hard to tell from thier website.

**Check was returned for insufficient funds or closed account.

--I don't think there was ever really a check. Can't get CheckCare to give me a copy, nor can I track down this 'Payee', nor can my bank find record of this payee, nor check number (check was ahead of series by about 300)

**Check(s) were written for goods and/or services.

--A distinct possibility, but without the check, this one's anyone's guess.

I wonder what's next for checkcare in thier attempts to harass me. File suit in Canada perhaps? At least the matter seems to be settled for the moment. I'd still love to be able to nail them for harrassment of some form, but that's probably somewhat far-fetched.
