Writing a bad check, on an account that is closed, is a felony. writing a check on an active account and it bounces, is a misdemeanor, below $500 dollars.
This person now has a criminal charge that can be placed as well as a civil charge, to collect your money.
Small claims court can handle your civil collection very nicely.
Giving this person a 10 notice through the mail, is evidence enough for you to secure a warrant for his arrest for a bad check.

You're reading A former friend who owes me money finally wrote me a check for the last $290. Not very surprisingly, it bounced. What steps can I take to collect these funds? Is his writing the check an admission of monies owed?

As far as I know the account is still active - for the moment. His mom died and left him some money which is why he finally 'paid' the last of what he owed me. (It started at almost a grand)I think he probably already blew all the money she left him and this account will no longer be active for long.
Just a couple questions: Do I need to persue a criminal case in order to persue a civil case? What is a "10 notice?"
