I live in Alabama. We have just learned that an insurance check (from an accident for $2,000.00) from a large ins. company was mailed to my husband at his ex-wife's address. He has never lived at that address. The insurance company tells us the check was signed in his name and cashed. She says she has never seen the check and maybe one of her boyfriends at the time got it and cashed it.Or that she may have thrown it away and someone got it from her trash. Would ID or even a 10 day deposit hold not have been required in cashing a check for this amount? How do we find out who actually signed it or whose account it was deposited into? I will be picking up a copy of the check (front and back) from the ins. co. in a couple of days. She wants a copy of the check. I say if her name is not on the payee line, she has no right to a copy. I am not comfortable with her seeing the signature. We plan to pursue this legally but where do we go from here?
