Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Financal

Hello - I have a question, really don't know how much I can be helped - I had received a certified check last week made out to me - being the not so trust-worthy person that I am - I deposited the ck into my account and had it sit for the 5 days to clear - the 5 days came, the money was released into my cking account - well, now today I am being told by my bank that the ck did not clear and everthing I have pd is not going to go thru and I am going to be charged a fee for everything that did not go thru - Just need a little advice as to what to do, do I have a leg to stand on seeing that the bank DID clear the ck?
