Does anyone know the procedure when you have a check sent in mail that goes to wrong address and it gets cashed by that recipient?
We had a "small" check of $25 mailed to us that got delivered to the wrong address apparently but was cashed by someone else.
We live in a college town and unfortunately have two streets on the same carrier route with identical house numbers. Speculating here because it has happened before but recipients noticed it was not theirs and put in our mailbox.
That did not happen this time and in fact was deposited by mobile deposit into someone else's account. Dark side of mobile banking--endorsing signature clearly does not match payee--also conveniently illegible.
Not sure how much effort is involved to get recovery but hope someone on the board has some background on this.
Thanks
