What can I do about worthless checks that don qualify for the Bad Check Restitution Program?
Checks that fall outside the boundaries of the Program, usually take one of two possible paths. If the check is considered part of a civil matter, you can pursue the check writer in small claims court, through a collection agency, or with the help of a private attorney. If it an obvious criminal matter – for example, a counterfeit or forged check – it should be immediately referred to the police.
