Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

If the check was done at the time of work and not sometime after, yes, if you give the proper written certified mail notice first.

For a bad check charge to stick, the person writing the check has to have been proven to know that the check was no good when it was written. If they stopped payment afterwards, the only real criminal offense applicable would be theft of services. This sounds like a dispute of some kind. Call the person who wrote the check to make sure there is no civil dispute here, as you may need to file suit in magistrate court.
