"Hopefully it wasn't for too much.
Probably depends on buyers intention as to getting money back. In 30+ years most of which I had no charge card machine, I got 2 bad checks. One was made good, took a few months but they just had…"

"The mechanic for a friend of mine took a bad check for some extensive auto repairs. This was a few years back, so the laws are probably better now. The check bounced, and he could never find the customer, or the car. If he could find the car, he…"
Alison Thomas replied to lisa m. hermesmeyer's discussion Bounced checks
"From years of owning a completely different business - Passing bad checks is not a case for small claims court, it is a criminal offense as long as it is payment for goods or services, not payment on an account. If the person gave you a check…"

"I hired a collection agency to recover about $1000 in 2 bad checks from the same person, written at the same show. It's been two years, they can't get anything out of her."
Carla Bank replied to lisa m. hermesmeyer's discussion Bounced checks
"I got couple bounced checks in FL. I don't know if you can do this in every state but I made a police report and the cops went to the client's house and got the money :) They have a form that you just fill for checks without funds."

"Well to conclude this experience.... the purchaser finally called me & said she should have shredded the old checks & it was a mistake. We used a credit card to square up the bill. My faith in humanity has been restored:)"

"Wow! What an excellent story. Did the check writer ever make good?"
Chris Hoyt replied to lisa m. hermesmeyer's discussion Bounced checks
"I think I've only had 2 checks I couldn't collect on in all my years.
One was from a woman at a show in a town that I did 3 shows a year. I called her and she said to redeposit the check. It bounced again. I called the bank the check…"

Larry Berman replied to lisa m. hermesmeyer's discussion Bounced checks
"Pears ago we used to be able to put them in for collection. That was where the bank would hold the check for a certain period of time and if the money was deposited, you would automatically get paid.
