Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland

Post Dated Check

I am paying my car payment late, I have been told that I have to write a post dated check to the company, even though I gave them a date that I would pay the bill. They say I must not have good intentions if I will not send a post dated check. I refused to send the post dated check, what can they do to me?
