    $150 Rebate stolen

    Yeah so my tivo rebate for $150 was mailed to my old address after I told them to change it. Some A**hole somehow managed to cash it. Which makes no sense cause you need ID.

    So Im coming here to see if anyone has any idea for steps I can take with tivo or maybe the bank to get that money back.

    Thanks guys.

        My advice, one, call the bank and tell them about the rebate. Call the company that the rebate is from, the same.

        And third, check your credit report now!

          I have no credit so someone wouldn't be able to do much with that.

          By the way this sucks.

          Thats two 360 games.... Hahaha.

          Or 1/5 of my rent.

            All they did was sign the back as you. Banks don't really have a lot of security in place. That is check fraud and a felony for openning your mail, but I don't know if you can get anything from Tivo. You do have recourse with the Bank that cashed the check. Problem is going to be finding out where the check was cashed. Tivo will have the info, but will they give it to you. Definitely file a police report, won't really do anything, but it will give you something if you find out what happen to the check.

            Heck, my parents had some checks stolen when someone broke into their house. The idiot goes to the back and tries to cash some checks himself, I guess he forgot that all Banks have video cameras. The stupid part though is the account was put on hold and but the bank still took down some fake info, called my mom to let her know a check was trying to be cashed, and then let the guy go. She told them to call the police and have security hold the guy there, but the Bank said no they can't do anything and let the guy go.

                Celts lost.

                Looks like all you can do is go to bed and call in the morning to see what they can do about it.

                    same thing happened to me...someone stole my gym bag that had my checkbook in it...After I reported it stolen and closed that bank account the bank called me and said that someone had tried to write a check to a Toys R Us in NJ when I live in MD...

                    Banks are pretty good about investigating though

                      I'd call the cops if I were you. Someone cashed a check written out to you. Last I checked, that's against the law.

                        The bank that cashed the check should be able to provide you with a copy of the back side of the check (the side that was signed). I don't know what to do after that, I guess go to the local police and file a report. Also, contact Tivo immediately and let them know.

                          That is the problem though. He didn't write the check so he won't get a copy of it, Tivo would. So he has to get Tivo to give him that information.

                            Call the consumer protection division of the Massachusetts Attorney General's office, they should be able to provide guidance. Or you could file a claim in Small Claims Court against DirecTV for not getting you your rebate. They'll have the records of where that check was cashed, and at the very least you should demand to know this information from them. If you know that it went to your old place, calling the police wouldn't be a bad idea either as theft of a check in Massachusetts is a crime and you were a victim.

                            I'd definitely advise (as a citizen) to contact the AG's office and the local authorities.

                              I love when Mass does that.
