Somebody wrote me a hot check a month ago. Went to the hot check dept here in Texas to get it sorted. They wrote the culprit a letter, to give him a chance to rectify it. He never replied. I was told the only recourse I have is to go to court, but I need the culprit's social security number or driver's licence, or they can't pursue the matter. Needless to say I don't have either .... I have his name and address, but apparently that isn't enough. Does anyone know how I can get hold of somebody's SSN?? Or can anybody just write hot checks as long as they don't give you their SSN? Isn't this weird?? Does anybody know how I should go about getting my money??

You got yourself into a bit of a hole... There are some third party on line E-spys that can help.. But they can cost 35+ dollars.. Not sure how much the check was wrote for.. if it was under 30 bucks it might be a learning lesson if it was much more then that you might want to seek legal advice.. To see what you can recover, Including a search and legal fees.. Good Luck,, Wish I could smack the Bum for ya..

That is why most stores require ID when taking a check. They write the DL number or such down so they have it if the check bounces.
Unless the person will supply that to you, you shouldn't accepot their check.
There are places online that you can BUY the social security number and such.
But unless the hot check is for a big amount, tracking down the numbers may not be worth it.

I could be wrong but I think a hot check is considered a stolen check or written from a bank account that no longer exist. If a check is returned to you for lack of funds in an account I don't think that is considered a hot check but..... there is something called a black list through all banks that puts them on this list and makes it very difficult for them to get a bank account again- you could ask your bank about it to get more information. I don't know if any of that helps at all... but that's all I know on the subject. :)

I would go to the court if I were you and find out for sure if you need them or not. If you have the address it seems like you could have the person served.

warm examine? Or stolen Cheque? If that's the 2d that's continually 3 months - 12 months yet to have it finished swifter you purely favor to document it on your monetary company Warrants are reliable once they are issued! that's purely a remember of having one issued for you.

I think $30 and a background check will get you his DL #.
