Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Mississippi

Check Fraud?

I have a settlement with Surpas collection agency for a Capital One account. Surpas used my checking account information to credit someone else's account from my checking. I have a cleared check(electronic check) with someone else's name at the top but with my check account information at the bottom (routing and account number). My question is is this fraud and what can i do about it?

Re: Check Fraud?

Have you tried to clear this up with the collection agency yet? It sounds as though it could be a mistake and not fraud. If they will not cooperate, I would suggest contacting the bad check unit of the District Attorney's office for assistance.
