How do you know if there are any outstanding or bounced checks in your name?

If you need to know now just phone the bank you deal with, identify yourself and they will give you the information. Usually when one has a bounced check you should have a copy of it mailed out to you with NSF (Not Sufficient Funds). You also should be getting a bank statement and you should really go over these every month and be sure there are no mistakes.

If you are separated from your ex, shut-down your joint account and get the teller at the bank to give you your own account. Never leave funds in your account with an ex's signature on it so it's joint! They can clean your account out.

Good luck Marcy

You can easily check your bank book, bank statements, by phone, online, or in person (teller). A bounced check is easily identified by an NSF fee. Check your bank services price list for details.
