i used checking account checks 1400-1450 first, then realized that the bank had sent me 1300-1500. so now i started using 1300-1350. will this cause any problems? will i get arrested or some crap like that?

I wouldn't expect any issues.

For example on my monthly statement, I think my bank puts an asterisk next to any check that I write out of order... But nothing else.

you'll get a little asterisk on your bank statement denoting the out of order checks, that is all

We sent you checks with numbers
Did you not know what they mean?
You use them in that order
It should be just routine.

But no, you couldn't manage that
Guess that plan was just too hard
So here's a fifty dollar service charge
For being such a tard.

OK, seriously, there is no issue with using them out of order. The bank does not care.

In some states it's a felony to use checks in the wrong order. Badly ordered checks have been linked to drug trafficking activity and it raises alarms. If you are caught you could go to jail for up to 5 years.

No, not really.

Poorly written sarcasm or ignorance?
