Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

Re: stop payment on check

You can sue them or you can file criminal charges against them. Keep in mind that police do not like to be collection agencies so they may not do anything with it. However, you can get a private attorney to handle this in the criminal courts for you as well.

Re: stop payment on check

You can file a civil suit to recover the amount you claim is due. Depending on the amount involved, this may be something that you can do yourself in Small Claims court or you may be better off getting a lawyer to represent you.

If you are convinced that the check was given to you when the other party did not have any intention to pay, there may also be a criminal violation.
