Re: bad checks
Unless she knew you were going to pay with bad checks, your mother did not commit a crime. It is thus very unlikely she will be charged criminally when and if you are.
However, she can be forced to pay the $1,500 you didn't pay, along with the rest of the loan balance if your loan agreement included an acceleration clause -- which it probably did.
