Writing a bad check is considered a wobbler crime in California, meaning it can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony depending on circumstances of the crime. If the value of the check was under $450, the offense is generally charged as a misdemeanor. If the amount is over $450, you can be charged with a felony.
Step 1: Contact The Issuer Of The Check. Announce the situation to the issuer by phone (some state laws restrict calling between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. local time). Step 2: Try To Cash The Check Again. Step 3: Send A Demand Letter. Step 4: Sue In Small Claims Court.
Contact Your Customer. The first step to take in reporting a bad check is to contact your customer by phone or by mail. Contact the Bank. Notify Credit Reporting Services. Contact the Better Business Bureau. Contact the Police.
Dispute The Debt: Ask the debt collector to verify the debt in question. Send a certified letter (and request a return receipt) asking for verification. Keep a copy for your records. The bad check restitution program must respond to you within 30 days or drop the case.
If the check writer doesn't respond or refuses to pay, you can go to small claims court.The clerk's office can tell you what damages you can recover in addition to the original amount of the bounced check plus court fees. In some states you can sue the person for up to three times the amount of the check.
Send the letter certified mail. Visit your local district attorney's office if you do not hear back from the debtor. Bring your correspondence with you and a copy of the bad check. He will take the case over, and likely prosecute the check writer.
As defined under California Penal Code Section 476a, writing a check while knowing that funds are insufficient can be charged as a misdemeanor offense that can result in sentence of up to one year in county jail.
