I bank at TFCU and a few month back my wife's driver's license was stolen. We reported it to the police and she had to get another one. About a month ago, her sister wrote checks from her closed account at another bank and signed them in my wife's name to cash them at our bank using my wife's old driver's license. She did this with 6 checks totaling over $1600. I only had $200 in there to begin with with my own checks out. Of course they came back and they bounced because she did this. The credit union is trying to pin the blame on us and is sending us to a collection agency instead of dealing with the fraud. The police department said it was the credit union's problem, but the credit union is still going after us for the money that we didn't have to begin with. We did nothing wrong and we're getting blamed. Can they bank be sued and if so, how and what type of attorney would I need to get. My sister-in-law has admitted to doing this now and is speaking to a lawyer about jail time, but I don't think the bank will budge. HELP Please!
