Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

I have just filed chapter 7 and my case has been discharged. One of the accounts that I filed on was to a bank where thay say I fraudulantly cashed a check. I had a transaction last year, where I sold a boat. It was an internet sale, and the guy sent me a check for 8k and then had me send 4k of the money to the shipper. The purchaser then wanted to cance the transaction. When I cashed the check I cashed it on the bank it was written to. They couldn't tell it was forged. How was I supposed to know. However, I let my lawyer know of the situation and we bankrupted on that issue. Now that the bankruptcy is done they are coming after me, saying that I intentionally defrauded them. Which I didn't. I was selling a boat. If I was sent a fake check, then the sender should be pursued. I was a victim in this also, and did finally sell my boat, but at a great loss. What is my recourse in this matter>
