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!

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.
