Default Possible Charges for Writing Bad Checks
Over the last few months I wrote a couple checks on a closed account (Im a poor college student and had to pay some stuff off or wouldnt have a place to live or eat). The total of the checks with the fees of the business they were written to equal 378$. I had the oppourtunity to pay them off through pennsylvanias bad check restitution program but I cant afford it right now. So now it looks like charges will be filed against me for this. I am just curious as to what i can be charged with and what the outcome of the charges can be.

Thanks for your help

Find a way to make restitution. Getting convicted will not only result in a criminal conviction, fines and court assessments, you'll almost certainly be ordered to pay restitution anyway.
