Re: bad checks
You'll have to find out where the person lives and file a small claims action. For $500, though, you may want to consider whether you'd be better off taking the tax deduction, or selling the debt to a company that will pursue collection for you. You'd also want to consider hiring a lawyer to take care of it for you at a flat rate, if possible. Then, the filing could be in District Court. Make sure you put the bank fees and any incidental expenses into your complaint, don't just ask for the $500.
Re: bad checks
Call the police department in the city where the writer wrote the check. They may be willing to pursue the matter. Good Luck John C. Talpos
