Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I am a small business owner who has run into a tight cash flow. Recently to get by I was writing checks between two banks to keep my accounts from bouncing and was caught for what they call "kiting". I was unaware that I was commiting a crime. I knew that each day as credit card deposits would come into the accounts my accounts would be fine. In the end neither bank was owed any money and no banks made any criminal charges against me. One bank did close my account and I have just found out that they reported me to the National Check Systems with a fraud report. At no time was my intent to commit fraud.

Is there a way to have this report of fraud removed from my record or a least reduced? I don't even know the first steps to take here but it can keep my company from having another account with any bank.

Thank you for your help
