Check Fraud

I performed computer repairs and updates of two bonding company computers. They gave me a check for about $450 that was returned by their bank as �No account on File.�

I sent them a copy of the returned check plus the banking report and then called the company and they gave me false names of the responsible party and denied they even knew the guy who signed the check. A quick check of a paid public records site listed his address the same as the business who owned the computers and gave me the check. I was denied access to the guy who actually wrote out and handed me the check.

Being a bonding and insurance company I was surprised. Any suggestions?

Re: Check Fraud

Many jurisdictions now have all of their requisite forms and requirements on the internet. Find out who is the JP or Municipal Court for your business address. (or whereever the check was written). If their forms are not online, then they will have them at their clerk's office. You will need to send a particular letter to the business by Certified RRR mail, giving them 10 days to make the check good. If it isn't, then the JP will file charges and issue a warrant. Let me know if you have difficulty. TCL
