What to do after receiving Bad Checks?

Question

I recently sold something to a woman for $500. She gave me a check in advance, and I deposited it the next day- This was on the 21st. I got a letter today saying that the check was bad because of NSF, plus a $15 fee and a legal copy of the check in question.

I have had contact with the woman and I guess she didn't have the money in the bank when she wrote it due to something, but does now. I still have the item that she paid me for- I don't think she was trying to cheat me.

So what do I do? Do a need a new check from her, can I use this "legal version" of the check to try again so to speak? Thanks!

You should be able to redeposit the copy. But you are risking yest another $15 fee if it once again comes back NSF.

Your best bet would be for her to pay you in either cash or by some sort of certified funds like a cashier's check. And remind her to add the $15 for the NSF fee.
