Talk:Check kiting

History
I'm surprised there isn't any mention of the Congressional scandal that broke out on this issue. -- T HE F OUNDERS I NTENT  PRAISE 16:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

A side note
With the way our banking system works it's not fair to simply play the consumer off as a thief when it comes to things like check kiting. The banking system we have permits employers to post-date checks to employees (that banks typically won't cash until the date) yet if a consumer writes a post dated check not only are they told it's against the rules but also the bank will probably cash that check early regardless of the date because the banks maintain the date is irrelevant. I guess that date is only irrelevant when it's convenient for the banks. I personally have ran into a situation where I deposited a check at a bank (from another bank) and it cleared before I was given any of it. So who's the kiter in that regard? Some would say they banks. Woods01 (talk) 06:23, 30 March 2012 (UTC) If corporations have a credit facility with the bank that is associated with their bank accounts, can the account holder be liable for kiting if checks written exceed the limit of the credit facility. Basically can kiting be charged by the government if the bank account holder has a credit facility?mf560. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.53.53 (talk) 22:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

"paper hanger?"
Under the section entitled "Laws about check kiting, the second paragraph begins, "Although the United States prosecutes some paper hangers under federal law..." The term "paper hanger" does not appear elsewhere in the article.  Is this an American English law enforcement slang term for persons who engage in check kiting?  Some sort of clarification is in order, I think.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.41.40.24 (talk) 13:12, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added a link to a dictionary which lists it as a slang term. C(u)w(t)C(c) 19:11, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Check kiting → Kiting (fraud) –

After searching for this online, it seems overtly conspicuous that "check" from American English is used to name this article. This is confusing and seems unnecessary because the simple fact is that this form of crime is not just prevalent in the United States but in all the English-speaking world. I propose that the name of the article should simply be called kiting as that what the crime is named; with a parenthesis to disambiguate what kind of kiting. It would clearly stop the confusion and encourage Commonwealth English speaker to read the article rather than be put off from the perceived overt Americanism (like I say this crime is not just in North America, so why should it have such a name?). 86.160.72.54 (talk) 20:50, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose; natural disambiguation is preferred to artificial. Spelling differences are unavoidable in this case because there is no spelling used throughout the English-speaking world.  Anyone who would refuse to read an article because of the way "cheque" is spelled is too stupid for us to consider writing for.  Powers T 17:20, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. No point having an argument over spelling when a neutral term is available. The article's current title should be at "Cheque kiting" anyway, to match the main articles cheque and cheque fraud.  I ♦  A  07:28, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, we have no such rule requiring consistency in national varieties of English; cf. windshield versus windscreen wiper. Powers T 02:34, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Well that's a bit stupid. You'd think consistency would be better than having one each way, but never mind...  I ♦  A  03:40, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
