My back accepted a mobile-deposited check that was returned by the paying bank as “previously paid.” Our depositor has apparently left town – his account with us is closed. The paying bank told us the check had been mobile deposited at a local credit union two days before it was deposited with us. Do we have any claim against that credit union to recover our loss?

Is a bank obliged to reimburse a consumer client for a fraudulent check paid out of their checking account? (We are in New Jersey.). Also, the client reported the fraudulent checks 10 months after statement cut which is deemed late according to our account agreement.
I have not been able to locate a rule/code or law that makes us liable to a consumer for this.

We are a bank located in NY. We would like to know if it is required under state (if you know) or federal laws to have a customer sigh a claim form for an unauthorized/forged/altered check? If so, is it required to be notarized?
We are aware that NACHA made provisions during the pandemic to allow WSUDs to be taken verbally, however we would like to know if it's necessary for checks and specifically if a Notary is needed as one might not be available in the branch on the day the claim is made.

I would appreciate direction on where to find in the regulation(s) the requirement for counterfeit checks to be returned within a 24 hour period of payment. We have a client that has had a counterfeit check clear their account and needs proof that it must be returned the next day or it is considered a late return.

I wanted to reach out in regards to time frames that depositing banks have to respond to a check return.
As with most other banks, I’m sure, we have seen an increase over the last 2 years of check fraud alternating between both altered checks and endorsement fraud. We typically try and return the item and collect for our customers the lossed funds, but most of the time our returns are denied as they are a late return. The denials that we receive though range from 2 weeks – 3 months so I wanted to reach out to see if there is a time frame that a depositing bank has to deny a returned check so we know on our end as far as giving our customers final credit for the check return?

If a fraudulent check is discovered months after clearing the paying bank, can it be returned through the Federal Reserve?
