Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia
We have a small business which sells and repairs laser printers. We sold 2 printers to a client who requested that we allow him 30 days to try these printers out and then cash his check. He provided a check on-site but postdated to reflect the 30 days agreed upon. When we deposited the check after 30 days it was returned with a stop payment.
We did have him sign a contract stating that both parties agreed to all of this, also stating that at the time we deposited the check there would be sufficient funds available to cover it, otherwise he would be liable for all bank expenses.
What is the appropriate way to go about recovering the money? It is over $1000. The client has not contacted us regarding any problems with our product or services rendered. We want to deal with this in writing by certified mail but want to be sure of the proper wording and legal implications.
Thank you for your help.

A letter is pretty irrelevant at this point. File a case in Magistrates (Small Claims) Court.
