Checks stolen from mail

I'm so sorry to hear that you're dealing with a frustrating situation!

If checks were stolen from your mail, here are some steps you can take to minimize the damage and report the incident:

1. Contact your bank: Reach out to your bank immediately to report the stolen checks. They may be able to put a hold on the accounts or cancel the checks.
2. Report to the USPS: File a report with the United States Postal Service (USPS) to document the incident. You can do this online or by visiting your local post office.
3. Contact the check recipients: Reach out to the individuals or businesses that were supposed to receive the checks and inform them of the situation. You may need to reissue the checks or provide alternative payment methods.
4. Monitor your accounts: Keep a close eye on your bank accounts and credit reports to detect any suspicious activity.
5. Consider a fraud alert: You may want to place a fraud alert on your credit reports to prevent any new accounts from being opened in your name.
6. Review your mail delivery: Check with your mail carrier to see if there were any issues with your mail delivery, such as a missed delivery or a package left unattended.
7. Consider identity theft protection: If you're concerned about identity theft, consider signing up for identity theft protection services.

Remember to stay calm and take action quickly to minimize the impact of the stolen checks.
