COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Columbus man said reimbursement delays by his bank are keeping him in debt. That’s after three checks he said he mailed out in December had been stolen and forged.

“When I saw those two checks, I was like, ‘Whoa,'” said William Geiger after calling ABC6 On Your Side Problem Solvers. “I knew I didn’t write the checks for that kind of money.”

Geiger said he’s now at risk of losing his home after the check fraud cleared out his bank account. He told Problem Solvers he has not been able to make a mortgage payment since December.

One check that was stolen was made from his Union Savings Bank account. Geiger said those funds have already been paid back. However, he said the other two checks were made from his U.S. Bank account. Those two fraudulent amounts added up to more than $10,000. More than 70 days after notifying the bank and making a police report, Geiger said reimbursement by U.S. Bank remains pending.
