Re: bad check
For purposes of filing a lien, the company is neither a materialman or a subcontractor. Additionally, such a company probably did not file the required preliminary notice. It is very doubtful that this company has any lien rights. However, filing a lien is relatively easy to do even if they are not entitled to one. You would then have to contest it which can be somewhat expensive. I recommend you hire a lawyer to write a letter on your behalf. We practice construction law so contact my office directly if serious about getting help.
Good luck.

No. Tell them to go after the NSF writer if they can.
