Checks with Incorrect Account Number
I wrote numerous checks over a 30-day period, and upon getting my monthly bank statement, I found that several checks had not cleared. I contacted my bank and they informed me that the checks had indeed not cleared. I called the merchants that I could remember to whom I had written checks, and most of them told me that they didn't have any checks from me. However, one told me that a check had been returned "Code E No Account Found", and it turned out that there was an extra 4 in the account number.
How can I track these checks down, and what are the legal ramifications? I closed the account when I moved to another state, before I realized that the checks didn't clear. Is the bank at all liable?

 You'll need to work with the bank if you didn't keep a record of whom you paid with those checks. They may be able to identify when each of the checks was presented for payment and returned, and get images of each of them. It's important that when you get new printed checks, through the bank or otherwise, that you verify that the account number is printed correctly.
