Need advise on open case matter
Hello community,
This is my first post in this forum and I would highly appreciate your advise.
About 6 weeks ago I had the shock of my life. As I was going through immigration at the Airport to leave for vacation, I was told that I cannot leave due to an open case against me. I was brought to a Police station and was confronted with 3 checks in my name that I allegedly gave to someone who I do not know. The checks are mine, from an account that was closed in 2012. My mistake was that I did not realize that my check book was stolen from me. Most likely during a move but I cannot prove that. Since I did not know my checks were stolen, I did not file for a lost check book at police. I did that now but obviously too late to make the case go away.
Anyway, the signatures and handwriting on the checks are very obviously not mine, which even Police verbally acknowledge. In fact they are extremely nice to me and I have only good things to say about the way they treated me. However, they need to go through their process and do a forensics test at the questioned documents section to prove that the signatures on the check aren't mine. The problem I have is that the bank I got the checks from are required to send to Police my original bank account opening application with my original signature for cross reference. The bank has been informed by Police a month ago but has not responded. I call the Police 3 times a week and they keep reminding the bank but to no response. So I am stuck. The biggest issue I have is that my work visa will expire in 30 October this year and I am worried this may drag on for a while.
My questions:
1) Is there anything I can do to help this process?
2) What happens if the case won't be resolved before my work visa expires?
Finally, a word of warning to everyone. Please make sure you keep your documents safe. This can seriously impact your life.
