Question for people who understand bad check laws....?

HMMM? Must be a large check or else the whole extradition thing wouldn't have happened. \nAs for coming home after making bail, well, make sure the courts are fully aware of where he will be going and that shouldn't be a problem. \nThat also depends on any previous criminal behavior. If you play ball with them though, then everything should be fine. \nA lawyer should be able to work out an agreeable plan forr payment and such with the prosecuting attorney, especially if this is this first incident. \nIf your husband has other check charges or criminal actions in his past then they will be less likely to work with him.\nA good idea is to contact a local Lawyer now and see what advice you get from him or her. A local Attorney will know more then I could ever tell you.\nFrankly, I am surprised they are even extraditing because of the cost to do this, but honestly I have not heard of hardly anyone going to prison fo bad checks. It happens but it is rare unless there was a scam involved and alot of money was taken. \nI had a friend go through this but his was a check printing scam and he stole thousands so he rightly and justly went to prison for 10 years.\nGood Luck!!!!

I dunno but there was an incident where a man deposited a Sweepstakes check for $95,000 that said this is not a check cause he wanted to see what the bank would do and they accidentally put that money into his Account that already had $5000\n\n$100,000 kept popping up on account and he made calls and was assured he could keep the $95,000 cause it was the bank's fault.\n\nFinally he put it on a certified check and put it in a Safe deposit box and the bank finally wanted the $95,000 back.\n\nThey got it back too.

Everybody is going to pay(or lose) on this one.\nThe person who wrote the check is paying for non-sufficient funds and if the merchandise is not returnable,the price of the merchandise, plus amount the merchant attaches as a returned check fee.\nThe merchant is missing merchandise if it is not a returnable item, and they may not get paid still\nPayPal hasn't gained anything monetary and they have been required to return the check, and notify the merchant of the hot check.

Call the police and file a complaint.  Kiting bad checks is illegal.

You have nothing to worry about. There is a statute of limitaions that is well past. If it bothers you so much, send the company the money for the check, but I am sure they do not even have a record of it any more!!!

If they claim they never received it, the first thing I would do is stop payment on that check, then send a second one. \n\nI don't think there are any laws against them cashing both checks. But, you can always sue them to try and get the money back, but then you are talking about legal fees and attorney fees, and so on. Depending on the amount of the check, it just may not be worth it.

That can vary from state to state. In Florida for instance there is in Alabama there is not.  Bad checks can be felonies in certain instances.\nHope you haven't written any.

Would have been helpful if you would have provided the check amount.  Another way to deal with this, is to take the person to small claims court.  Along with the criminal side, you will get a judgement, which affects a bad credit rating as well. \nAgain, the amount the check was written for would be the determining factor.

In court, this can very easily be proven...especially if you have proof that you cashed the check.  You may think about hiring a lawyer, but if you have hard proof that it was a check that was cashed you will be OK.

You scofflaw!\nOK the WORST thing is that you get charged with a crime. Theft by fraud (bad check) is a crime. \nReality: don't worry about it. \nAmount was too small and time was long ago, statute of limitations may have already run.\nIf the store turned over your debt to collections, it probably would have shown up by now On your credit report.\n\nHowever, you did steal from that store. Find out if they are still in buisness (God forbid your theft drove them under) and send them a note and the $. Get it off your guilty mind.\n\nAlthough I would not send another check.

It's a scam.\n\nThe $4,600 check is going to be returned.  You never should have deposited it because it is counterfeit and the police might think you are part of the whole scheme.  \n\nObviously, don't send them a penny and don't respond to any more of their e-mails.

As long as the check was legitimate and not fraudulently endorsed, you should be OK.  Stop Payments will prevent the check from clearing, but you've noted that the check already cleared. \n\nWhy are you worried?

Call whoever handles hot checks in CT. Depends on state laws. This happened to me in Arizona and that state specifically will NOT prosecute a bad payroll check. Yet if I were to write a hot check for $501 it would be a class C felony. California makes the check a penalty that accrues one days pay for for every work day that check is bad. Texas treats any check over $500 a class A misdemeanor.\n\nSo, it's a state thing. If the check and the employer live in CT, then that's where the real information can be obtained.\n\nBest of luck. Employers that don't meet payroll are truly the worst.

I don't understand your question.  Are you asking to have the Law changed, or just to quit having money taken from your check?

I couldn't have said it better myself.....GOOD JOB. I totally agree with you. The checkers are also to scan a certain number of items thru the checkout in a length of time. I know the price of the items that I take and several times they have been wrong. My sister used to work for Wal-Mart and you would not believe the stories she could tell you.........

It's not illegal, but it isn't a good idea either.  If you don't want to send a check, you can send a USPS money order.  It can be replaced if lost or stolen and you can buy them up to $1000 for a small fee.  If the cash is lost or stolen, you are out of luck unless you bought insurance.
