Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
I had a collection agency attempting to collect a bad check debt. I paid them directly along with their fees and received a letter from them indicating that my claim was satisfied and has been closed in their system. I found out later, they sent my account to the DA. The DA wants to charge me to attend a check writing program. My question is, if I satisfied my obligation with the collection agency and have documentation supporting this, should I fight the need to attend the class with its excessive fees?

No. There are many things that are both a crime and create civil liability. If you smash someones car because you were driving drunk, paying for the damage does not get you off the hook for the DUI. Be glad the DA is giving you a diversion option. They could be prosecuting, and they will do just that if you try to avoid the class.
