Hi,
I own a small business (Wholersale/factory) and we do not offer terms, on a net 30... So I offer terms using a check or ccard. In this case, a landscaper came in and placed an order wrote a check for the full amount, we filled half then.. He was to come back the next week to pick up the balance and at that time I was going to deposit the check... but then, He asked if I would hold it for a few days, I said for 10 days... So in ten days I call to let him know I was going to the bank with the check... He said ok... I recieved the check back marked "payment stopped"... Since we have called and left messages. I am at the end of the line on this..
I feel that he is a criminal in the following ways...
1. Check Fraud
2. Theft by Deception
3. It was $1,000.00 so would it be a fellon?
4. He has since sold the goods.
What should I do? do I call the Police, or go to the county courthouse and file something?
Thanks,
Small business owner... Craven
