A friend of mine wrote me a check a while back for $300. It was my share of our security deposit from our apartment. They had sent her the full amount instead of dispersing it.
Anyway, she asked that I wait to cash it for a few days. I waited a couple of weeks. She then emailed to say that she was closing her account, and asked if I had cashed it yet. I replied that I had not, and asked her what she wanted me to do (i.e. cash the check, or wait for a new one). She never replied...and I basically forgot about it. I recently remembered that I had never heard back from her, so I emailed her to ask for my money. She replied that it was too late and that she didn't owe me anything after all this time.
My question is, how can I get my money? It's been 6 months since the check was originally written, and around 5 since the account was closed. Can I cash it, or do I have to try and convince her to write me another one?
*sorry for the length, it's sort of a drawn out story
