What do I need to do to file a bad check complaint?

If you or your business purchased a service or item(s) and were notified by the bank that the check did not clear and was drawn on an account with insufficient funds or has been closed, you must do the following before you file a complaint for a bad check.

1. The returned check must have the bank stamp showing it was drawn on an account with insufficient funds.
2. You must send a certified letter to the person who wrote the check advising them of the situation.
3. You must wait 7 days from the day the certified letter was sent.  If you receive no reply, you can respond to Foster Police and file a complaint.  Bring all paperwork concerning the bad check with you when you file the report.
