This is about cashing a check, listen to the scenario, then answer please.?

Question

My boyfriend's old employer bounced his pay check for working a month. He, in turn, bounced his rent check and other payments that he made thinking the money cleared. When adding up the fees, it came to roughly $5800. They agreed that they owed him the money, then wrote him a check for $3000, asking for more time to pay. It's been 4 months and they haven't paid him yet..so, the check that they originally bounced was for the amount of $2600; he took that check to the bank and cashed it; thus only leaving a balance of $200 more owed to him from them. They just realized it, and are now claiming that it's "fraudulent" as it was already bounced and they're having the bank do an investigation saying he wasn't authorized to cash it. We think it's crap. What do you think?

Answer 1

I don't know much about business issues but i think its crap. Four months? I think its realy crap. So they had money all along? Sue them for the remaining $200.
Anyway, i hope it wont get you in trouble...

Answer 2

Let me get this straight.

They gave him a check for 2,600 and it bounced.

He is claiming he was charged 3,200 in bank charges ???? What did he do ... write hundreds of checks for a dollar each and they all bounced?

He wants them to pay him 5,800 instead of the original 2,600

They gave him 3,000 which should have more than covered the original 2,600 that bounced and any possible bank charges

He takes the original check that bounced to the bank and cashes it, even though it has already been replaced ...

Yeah, I'd say he is in trouble.

Answer 3

they should have put a stop payment on the first cheque when they wrote him the second one
but I don't know how he got the second one cashed because there is a stamp on bounced cheques and the bank isn't suppose to cash them when the stamp is on
