My checking account is in the negative for a little over $1000. The account was closed by the bank (wells fargo) and sent to collections. I have all intentions to pay the debt i owe. I just don't have it right now. The collections agency has threatened that this debt is considered check fraud. There are no hot checks on this account the majority of the debt is overdraft fees and purchases from a debit card. My question is this: Am I really in danger of being charged with check fraud or is the collections agency using scare tactics?
