    Default NSF, Checking Account

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    What is the link showing NSF checks are illegal in California?

    A friend of mine lives in California. He is an entertainer. His customer gave him a NSF check for $2,000. He took it to the DA. The DA told him they can not do anything with it because the guys DL is not on it.

    My friend found out others are in line taking the guy to small claims court for the same reason.

    If the guy goes bankrupt, everyone can not get their money. What can my friend do to push it making it more of a criminal charge?

    Bad checks are discussed here, and how to sue in LA County is discussed here. (The procedure is essentially the same in every county, LA was kind enough to post theirs!)

    Further reading on the web indicates that California is rather lackadaisical about prosecution of bad checks, your friend probably won't get very far trying to pursue more than civil action without an attorney.

    Thank you very much, that was helpful.

    If my friend wins in small claims court, can the defendent claim bankruptcy on the money owed?

    I live in Michigan. Is there a link showing what I can do too for receiving a NSF, similiar in California?
