Q: received a check($10.000) without funds(in NY). what i do? i call the writer of the check, but i think he try to avoid.
I live in NJ and he's in NY
A: If you deposited the check and took out the money, you are going to have to make good on this with the bank. You can report to the police.
A: I suggest you speak with a criminal lawyer that is licensed in NY and NJ
A: That is enough money for you to consider hiring a lawyer to follow up for you. You should be able to locate someone to represent you for a fair flat fee. Good luck.
A: I would suggest retaining counsel. You can follow up with a letter to them, or you can institute suit. In New Jersey it would a Special Civil Part Suit as it is under 15,000.
