Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I've had someone pay for goods with Fraudulent checks, I cashed them and used the money. This happened 7 years ago and I'm still in chexsystems for fraud, that I did not commit. Will I ever be able to get a checking account ever and can they legally continue to do this?

Have you gone through the Chex System dispute process? I'm not clear as to how this ended up on your Chex System report - if you only received the checks, then it should not have been reported to your Chex System report. Dispute it. I also believe that after 7 years (same time frame as credit items), the derrogatory remark should come off of your Chex System report.
