I work for a foodservice representative. One customer from Texas wrote a check to my factory in Georgia for around $6000-$7000 that bounced. What are their options for recourse?
When checks are bounced, the aggrieved party has the right to attempt to collect on the check, and can press criminal charges if the check is not paid. They can also resort to available provisions in any contract between the check issuer and payee. Things are a little more difficult when business is done across state lines, but recovery is still possible. If the Georgia factory management is unable to collect on the check, it should consult legal counsel to determine which options are available to it for getting its money.
