A former boyfriend stole my checkbook in late May, 2005 and forged every single check. The amount totaled well over $6,000. The bank closed the account, and I reported this to them, got copies of all of the checks, submitted a form from the bank stating these checks were forged, and had it notarized by their notary. The bank says there is nothing I can do since I elected not to press charges at the time as the person who forged the checks promised he would pay them; stupidly, in good faith, I trusted him to do so. I also reported this to the police. The officer said I have no recourse as I am considered a third party and none of the businesses which he made the checks out to pressed charges. Is there anything I can do to press charges for check fraud or forgery? Presently, I cannot get a bank account, my credit / good name is ruined, I'll have to declare bankruptcy, and all of the stores he wrote the checks to have me listed for "bounced / returned check(s)". Incidentally, my name was the only name on the checks and the account. (One of the checks he forged even has his thumbprint on it!) Frankly, I want this immoral con artist to be held responsible for his actions and placed back in jail so he cannot destroy someone else's life like he did mine.
F.Y.I.: I have a permanent restraining order against this person (which he violated twice and I reported to the police), he was convicted of robbery (he broke into my apartment and stole what was in my purse), and he was convicted of attempted robbery by some other party (store, I believe). He was sent to Huerfano Correctional Facility in Colorado, and his parole date was set for Dec. 16, 2006. I cannot find him via the on-line inmate search, and as the victim, I want to know if he is "out" and on parole. How do I find this information?
