I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.
When You Can Be Charged with Bank Fraud
Bank fraud is a serious criminal charge, and it is important that you have an expert legal team on your side to fight it. If you are facing criminal charges due to bank activity, it is important that you understand how and when you can be charged with bank fraud. There are situations in which you may be charged with bank fraud without having intended to ever break the law.
What Constitutes Bank Fraud
Bank fraud occurs when actions are taken to illegally or unethically possess or receive money from a bank or other financial institution. You can be charged with bank fraud if you have credit card fraud, check fraud, electronic funds fraud, or identity theft.
Examples of Accidental Bank Fraud
You may be charged with bank fraud if you possess or receive money from a bank or financial institution, and it can be argued that you knew you were doing so illegally or unethically. For example, if you have several large checks clear your bank without sufficient funds, you have in a way received money from the bank illegally or unethically. Even if you were not aware that the funds were not in your account to cover the checks, this can still end in bank fraud charges.
You might also be charged with bank fraud if you get a credit card from a financial institution where approval was based on misinformation in your application. Even if the omission or falsehood in the application was an honest mistake rather than blatant fraud, you could still be charged with bank fraud.
What to Do
If you have been charged with bank fraud, chances are the government already has a case mounted against you. It is vital that you immediately get legal representation to help you form a defense. If you are facing bank fraud charges, contact us today for a consultation.
