As a matter of fact, in some states you "can" go to jail over bad checks, along with a hefty fine.
Look up your states DA's web site for bogus checks.
As for the overdraft fee's etc from the bank that the checks were drawn from, the bank can either try to collect or turn it over to a collection agency (collection agency is more likely)
And for the non payment of personal loans will probably be turned over to a collection agency, or possibly (but not probably) the banks law firm - depending on how large the amount is.
You would probably be hounded by your states DA and a couple collection agents.

Bounced checks is very serious.
Each state does handle it differantly, but it's not that differant.
Here in Michigan it's both a civil and criminal matter. They can arrest you and give you jail time. You can also be sued for 3 times the amount of the check.
Bank loan default is a civil matter (unless fraud can be proven). They can sue you for the balance and interest.

batas pambansa bilang 22. and estafa.
although nobody can be imprisoned of non-payment of debt, the passing of bp 22 practically criminalizes the issuance of worthless checks. the penalty is quite light and the issuer can always ask for probation.
estafa is harder to prove but has a heavier penalty. in estafa simultaneous exchange of goods and the element of deceit should be present.

In some states (like where I live) you CAN go to jail for writing bad checks -- and plenty of people have gone to jail for this. These actions are criminal in intent -- and the state/local or business will pursue you to collect the money they are owed.

It all depends on how nasty they want to be. Can be breach of contract, fraud, and a bunch of other fancy worded charges. Not a good thing to be involved in.
and never trust a nurse (from first answer) she'll beat you out of money.

Ask your local District Attorney where the transactions took place.
