What should you do when a check issued to you bounces?

First and foremost, call up the person who gave you the check and inform them. Ask them if they are willing to pay you the money they owe you. If they agree, then well and good.

If they dont agree, take the check bounce letter/proof to the nearest police station and file a formal complaint against that person.

Issuing checks without sufficient money in the bank account is a felony and you can be arrested for doing so
