I have a case for a bad check in small claims court July 2. The check is for $300 but since I have tried to collect it with two certified letters I can get the amount of the check plus triple damages up to $500 plus bank fees and court cost. My claim is for $835 plus $85 court cost. The DA asst told me that they will issue a criminal warrant if they do not pay. I'll let you know the results after July 2.
