[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6767741, member: 549629"] Some of the smaller businesses weren't so helpful. The larger businesses took responsibility right away, but I had to remind some of the smaller ones that it was their fault they accepted a check without proper identification. Copies of the police report had to be sent to all the businesses in order to push it through 'legally' and keep them from filing bad credit history information. All in all, a pretty large hassle, as he'd written so many checks. I was amazed how many businesses took a check without ID. He must have had some line about forgetting his wallet at home. This was quite a few years ago now, but I still remember the feeling when I called the bank and told them 'I opened an account 3 weeks ago and I still have not received my checks in the mail' to which the woman on the other end said 'youve obviously received them sir, youve been writing checks for a week and a half."
