No
matter the source, personal or commercial, if
you have a ‘bad check’ for any reason (NSF, Closed Account or
Stop Payment), according to California Rules you can take
them to Small Claims Court and possibly be entitled to recover not only
the face value of the check, but up to $1,500 as a penalty to the
maker.
The
penalty is typically triple (3x) the value of the check with a $100
minimum penalty and $1,500 maximum penalty to the maker.
Example
1: If
the check is for $25, it becomes $125 to the court ($25 + $100
minimum penalty).
Example
2: If the check is for $100, it may become $400 to the court ($100 +
$300 penalty).
Example 3: If
the check is for $1,000, or more, the maximum penalty is still
$1,500; so the $1,000 is going to be ‘worth’ $2,500 if you get the
Judgment. You can easily compute “your” amount yourself.
