My question involves court procedures for the state of: Kansas
I was working for a woman helping her son to clean the outside of her home after the city stepped in because of the 2 decades of neglect..
She wrote a check for both myself and her son to pay us, and I cashed it that day.
Before the check reached her bank, she stopped payment on it.
This caused my account to be overdrawn for most of the amount of the check, and now she is claiming, despite writing it in front of her son, her granddaughter, and myself, that she did NOT make that check, she did not SIGN that check, it is NOT her responsibility, and she WILL NOT pay it. I've managed to cap the overdraft fees with the bank, while I resolve this issue, but how can I fix this? I think this might be check fraud, but I really don't know.
I've been told that perhaps a civil or small claims filing might be the best thing to do, but I know nothing at all about this.
I'm also underage (16) , so I'm not even sure I can sue her myself.. What should I do?
Any advice or knowledge you can share with me would be very much appreciated.
ADMINISTRATORS; if you feel this could go in a better place, PLEASE by all means feel free to move it there, and forgive me for misplacing it.
