Creditor/Unsigned Contract

A friend opened a business acct. for her soon to be ex. She wrote him a blank check to pay for restaurant food supplies and wrote "For: Food Supplies," and signed in August 2003. On October 1, 2003 she closed the account and let him know. On October 7, her ex altered the date of the blank check from August to October and used it instead to order cash register equipment and services. Her ex then filed for bankruptcy. The cash register company is now coming after her to collect 5300 dollars, even though she never signed a contract or authorized payment to the company. Can they do this?

Hi Gina Welcome to the forums. I understand that your friend

Hi Gina

Welcome to the forums. I understand that your friend gave a signed blank check to her ex with which he purchased the goods from Cash Register Company. Her check was in the name of food supplies and that cannot be altered to cash register without her signature.

Please ask your friend to contact her bank about it and they need to explain first of how an altered check without her signature can be sent for payment.

On the other way, if this process has really happened, then your friend's creditor have taken her ex as the party who signed the contract. Please ask for a debt validation letter to know the actual details and get in touch with her ex to seek out this matter.
