Legal Question in Banking Law in California
Date forgery on a post-dated check
I gave a business in Los Angeles two post-dated checks for $200 in April for services to be rendered over a two-month period. They subsequently changed the dates on the checks and forged my initials in order to deposit them early. Can they be pursued from a civil or criminal standpoint?
Thanks!

Re: Date forgery on a post-dated check
They had the right to deposit the postdated checks immediately and without altering them, so perhaps no harm, no foul. You could call the police.
