Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

post dated checks

I recently purchase a vehicle from a dealership in

California. I and the dealership signed a HOLD

CHECK(S) AND/OR THIRD PARTY CHECKWRITER AGREEMENT on

4/18.

May 8th. They asked me to post date it and would not

deposit it until that day or the day after. They

deposited it 4/18, which brought my account overdrawn.

charged me $90 in insufficient fund fees.

What kind of recourse do I have? I am trying to get

them to pay the $90 at least and they are
