Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Forgery

I recently discovered that my ex girlfriend used a check from a credit card company to write herself a check for $1250. The check was over two years old because she hasn't lived with me since and the bank issuing the check has since been bought out by Bank of America.

My question is will I have to press charges in order for my bank to remove the charges? Or will they simply move towards collections? I am hesistant to prosecute because there are immigration issues I fear will result in her deportation. Advice?

Re: Forgery

Is this one of those Judge Judy situations where the gift you gave her suddenly becomes a "loan" now that you've broken up? How come it took you two years to figure out that she wrote a check for $1250? Or maybe I am misunderstanding your question. If she took a check while she was with you, and she has -recently- written the check, call the cops.
