In a previous question, I asked about how to deal with an identity theft, but I didn't quite get the answer I was looking for. Someone made a fake check and tried to steal money from my bank account. The bank notified me, checked out the situation, and returned the money to me. I did report the incident to the credit reporting agencies.
I never expected the bank to go to court or file charges on my behalf. However, I DID ASK for the criminal's name and the bank for which the criminal was trying to deposit my money. The bank refused to give that infomation to me. So, are the police the only ones who can pry that information from the bank?
It seems that if someone is big and bad enough to try to steal from me, the bank should identify that person to me so that I can pursue charges against the criminal.
