Re: More Check Washing Theft
|
As a victim to this exact crime myself (except it was to the IRS instead of DC), I HIGHLY recommend these two steps:
1. Arrange with IRS for regular withdrawals directly from your bank acccout
2. Sign up for an account DC treasurer. They won't auto withdraw, but you can use it like an online bill pay for each quarterly payment
I have done this and have had no problems.

All hands,
Gerard Leval, a Washington lawyer and author, has a disturbing OpEd in today's Wall Street Journal describing how a check he mailed to DC for a tax payment was stolen and cashed by a thief. According to Leval, DC, bank and postal authorities had to be dragged into any kind of action. It's another instance in what has become all too common a crime followed by a half-hearted response.
I wonder if United Parcel Service is a good substitute when sending a substantial check by mail. Using electronic means to transfer funds is a good alternative, when available. Aggressively going after mail pirates apparently isn't on, according to Leval.
