Re: Deposit account fraud

Why not just stop payment on the missing check and immediately send a new one rather than wait around on some tracer? Then, ask the probation officer to take some steps to get the warrant withdrawn, since they messed up the address. But, by fooling around with tracers, they are probably questioning your candor in their minds.
