Ive got a problem with an Ex and her extremely annoying mother (Legal Problem)

[Ninjja]

Definition: [n] a check that is dishonored on presentation because of insufficient funds; "issuing a bad check is a form of larceny"

dictionary definition

dude, she sucks, don't let her take advantage of you. Worst outcome is that you have to pay them, but judging by their crude and harassing manners, I think the judge will also see them for who they are and tell them to cough up the money they owe you too, in which case you are even stevens.

Well you didn't endorse it, so who knows how it got into their hands ?

If they forge a sig and cash it, file a complaint with the bank and follow through

Call the bank and void the check! He can do that can't he?? It's not even signed yet.

He could do it even if it was signed, as long as it isn't cashed yet.

and if it is cashed then he can ream out the bank and the person who charged it.

though i think i heard once that even though the check is not signed it could still be legally cashed. If the onwer of the account fills out the check then it still can be cashed.

It is purely a matter of principle, I just couldnt take it if I paid because that means they would be winning.

A Pyrrhic victory
A victory gained at too great a cost: like that of the Greek leader Pyrrhus over the Romans in 279BC

I think it wouldnt be at that great a cost since im just going to ignore her phonecalls and if she takes me to court im more than prepared. I mean they are in the wrong and her mother doesnt know what shes talking about.

The feeling of final vctory when that bitch loses will make this non-pyrrhic.

Dude, pay the $90. That isn't "giving into them", that's "being a bigger man."

It obviously isn't worth all the time and aggrivation. Write them a new check and feel free to put "for the ring that I lost from the bitch who cheated on me" in the notes field on the check. Voila, now you're even.

So Neville Chamberlain was the bigger man when he allowed Hitler to take over Europe? I'd argue that standing up for yourself at great cost is being the bigger man. Giving in to a selfish drama queen is weakness not strength.

We're fighting over a $90 ring here, not a whole fscking continent.


Edit: Well, its worth it if its the Ring of Power from LOTR.

so this check is pretty much gonna lose it for me huh? what if I told them to send me the check through the mail so i can sign it and then rip it up? It may be wrong but then theyd have nothing to hang over my head. naw nevermind I havent done anything wrong yet no point on starting now.

Don't take legal advice on here alright? You are taking legal advice from a bunch of 15 year old know it alls. There are only two people (that I know of) on this forum I would take legal advice from (they are both lawyers). You need to impliment a ZCP (Zero contact plan) and don't worry about it unless they take you to court.

Yet you just gave advice.

Well she let me borrow it while i was there as something to remind me of her and I lost it somewhere. So these people have no case and I should just not pick up the calls? I also wrote a check at one time but didnt sign it and they are saying that since I had intent to pay and that I didnt sign then it is considered a bad check, is she telling the truth?

Clarify what you mean about the check. Yes, I'd ignore the calls, or have the number blocked.

They called one day while I was hammered and I wrote a check but didnt sign it. she says that this is considered a bad check. so they have an unsigned 90.10 check.

Wait, they have the check in their posession?

yes they do

Ahh.

Well, regardless, i'm still positive it's not a bad check. It was never good in the first place.

And if they forge your signature and cash it, nail them. :evil:

How hammered were you when you wrote the check?

 

[NinjaGnome]

havent heard from them today thank god.

noone is gonna sue you for 90 bucks PERIOD
