Ok, right to it... My friend told me that he had difficulty paying his rent and it was fifteen days late. Apparently he had a check for $490 that he said that "kim" gave him. He just needed a means to cash it. He had no local bank account and no ID. I was too late to go to the bank. So I gave him $400 in cash and held the check that was written to him. Well after he avoided contact with me for 2 days. I decided to deposit the check and had him sign the check over to me. The bank accepted the check and the amount was deposited into my account. One month later, the amount was taken out of my account (the check was returned). It was somehow tagged as a forged check. So Im left with a returned check fee and retro account overdraft fees and I am left holding the bag.
The bank sent the check back to me. I went to my "friend" he said he will try to pay me back. What are my options to ensure my money get paid back. Small claims court or something? And what exactly are my liabilities. Thank to all who can help.
