is writing a bad check a felony?

Answer 1

It depends on the amount of the check. If the check is less than $100, its a misdemeanor on the first offense, a felony on the 2nd offense. If it was a large sum of money, then its a felony on the 1st offense. It also depends on which state it was committed. Every state has different $$values as to what constitutes a misdemeanor, from a felony.

Answer 2

Most states:
Writing a check on a closed bank account is an automatic felony.
Writing a check which is returned under a certain amount (like anywhere from $0 to $300 more or less) is a misdemeanor, and anything else returned is a felony.
Contact an attorney's office, or call the District Attorney's office from a payphone, so they won't know who you are.

It depends on the laws of your state. There are often "bad check" divisions in courts that only handle non-felony cases, so it may be a lesser offense. However, it often depends on the amount involved in the alleged "bad check."
