Your best recourse is to take them to small claims court. You should act fast, as you do have a limited time in which to assert your claim. If you have a written agreement with them, you have four years from the date of breach to file a claim. However, if you do not have a written agreement, you only have 2 years from the date of breach to file a claim. You may be awarded the $500 plus any charge you incurred when the check bounced.
