Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in North Carolina

If he gave you a check, you may be able to proceed under the criminal bad check laws. They require you to mail a certified letter demanding payment. If he does not respond, most of the counties in NC have a worthless check program. See if there is one in your county or try contacting the district attorney's office or the sheriff's office if there isn't one. Usually, the district attorney's office sends another certified letter and demands payment of the check plus costs. If payment still is not made, the the district attorney will prosecute and, given the amount of the check, this will be a misdemeanor. In which case, your soon to be ex-friend will be back in jail. And don't loan him money for bond again.

Please contact me if you want me to send a certified letter to him for a reasonable fee.
