The act of purposefully writing checks on closed accounts?

The act of purposefully writing checks on a closed account is called a Felony or a Crime. Writing a check on a account that is closed/inactive is a crime. Customers are not supposed to do that and if they do, the bank can report it and take legal action against the offending customer. The customer can be fined or jailed for doing so.

The penalties are the same irrespective of the country/city you live in.
