Four years ago I had some checks stolen and a couple of which went thru my account. I did a police report and the bank reimbursed me. This week I get a letter from a collection agency on behalf of the creditor stating that I owe them the money. Any advice appreciated?

Clark Howard was talking about things like that the other week. Google him. It may just be someone with your name and they are trying to collect, kind of a scam that goes on. Check out Clark's website or call the show. Do not pay it! Demand itemized documentation, they will probably hang up on you and never bother you again. However check your credit report and also make sure you keep all and any documentation about when your checks were stolen.
