Cindy:
You have a mess that easily remedied or very hard to remedy.
If the "person" (ex husband or not) has sigend your name on checks and cashed checks etc. without proper authorization it is fraud. Take all the items cashed, paid out etc and go talk to your bank. Depending upon the state most demand deposit accounts have a maximum out of pocket (cost to you) and the bank eats the rest. If you have already done this and the bank hasn't responded. You now have two things to address.
1) call the police and make a report. you MUST be willing to press charges.
2) if this much access has been allowed by "unauthorized" parties, and the bank is holding you responsible, CALL A LAWYER.
If the bank is sueing you.. This must have been going on for some time. Banks are for the most part not quick to initiate laWSUITS. You need to countersue.
Don't walk RUN to a lawyer. The minimal fee associated with theconsultation will determine what course of action you need to take.
Authorized is authorized
Fraud is Fraud
Good Luck!

Can you counter sue your bank for blantently allowing someone to cash and commit fraud
What recourse do I have when my Bank (NY) allowed estranged husband to cash forged payrolls checks of employee's of mine that no longer worked for my company. He would sign the employee's name and sign his. On numerous checks he just signed their name and they cash it without his signature. The bank also gave him a 2nd debit/mastercard when there was only one per account. They would also let him cash checks made out to cash and he would sign my name. He was not a signer on any of my business or personal accounts, nor was his name on my business. I had a commercial line of credit and he got into that to. Now the very same bank is trying to sue me. Can anyone help, inform or guide me in the right direction.
