Re: Bounced Check

Contact the police department in the city in which the check writer is located. Most police departments have a department that handles checks returned for insufficient funds etc. If they are unable to collect the money for the check they present the evidence to the district attorney's office for action.

The only draw back to this procedure is they usually only process checks that were written in the last 30 days. They are also sometime slow.
