A friend of mind asked me to help him to get a cell phone couples of years ago. Due to his bad credit, he couldn't get one on his own at the time. Being a good friend, I did the favour for him. And It seemed no problem until last two months. He got a job offer out side of Canada and was ready to leave the country for a long time. I did mentioned to him about his last phone bill, $500. He promised to return to me as soon as possible. But he didn't, and left the country with a word to me. Later on, a middle friend of ours showed up with this guy's personal check and his threaten about whether I dare to try to cash the check. No surprise, the check bounced last week... And I counldn't get hold of him every since. what can I do now? should i take it to the court? Where should I start with? He is in HongKong right now, and his families are trying to sell the house and move to there as well...

Small Claims Court. But if hes staying overseas, you're probably out of luck. You'll have to spend far more than 500 bucks to put a lien on anything he owns, so it won't be worth it.

call a lawyer and see what you can do. writing hot checks is a felony, so contact a lawyer and see.
