what kind of trouble would you be in if you wrote a check out for a downpayment for a car but your ckeck bounc

Answer 1

Writing a bad check is considered fraud & is punishable by law.
The situation could be redeemed with a phone call or a visit to the dealer ( to make good on the check) BEFORE they file charges.
Otherwise the check writer is in BIG trouble!

Answer 2

In the last 2 years, i had two people bounce checks, it's very rare. The dealer will try and resolve this nicely, without court or repo's involved. But, nice will only go so far. When you bounce a check, you are not only a loser screwing someone, but worse, you are a true criminal according to law. You could be in a lot of trouble if you do something stupid like that.

Answer 3

1. You could loose the vehicle if you don't take care of this.

2. The District Attorney’s Office files charges against check writers who allegedly do not take care of their business.

Depending of the amount o the checks and the severity of the case, they may file felony or misdemeanor charges. In most instances, the class "C" misdemeanor charge for Issuance of a Bad Check.

Criminal laws require fines against people who plead guilty to the offense involving writing hot checks.

You may also plead Guilty or Nolo Contendre (No Contest) and pay the fine amount. In Class "C" Misdemeanor cases, the fine ranges up to $500.
