is bouncing checks a felony?

It's all about whether they can determine if you wrote those checks to commit fraud or not.  People make honest mistakes with their checking accounts and the government is very forgiving on those occassions.  Most companies will send the check off for collection.  The agency will give you about 30 days from the day you bounce the check to settle it with them, plus the bounced-check fee of course (usually 25-35 dollars).  If you settle the amount or at least arrange a payment plan, they will NOT send this off to the county prosecutor.  Once it DOES get sent off, even the prosecutor will give you ample time to settle your case out of court.  If you still ignore this and let it get into the court system, well, then you're pretty much screwed.  \nAnother thing, bouncing checks will get you blacklisted in Chexsystems which is a nationwide service used by all banks to monitor your check writing habits.  Once you're on this list opening a bank account will be close to impossible for about 5 years.  Even when you settle and pay for the check, they are not obligated to take it off your record.

If the apartment by-laws or policy prohibits drinking alcoholic beverages, yes.  The same would apply to felony background checks which are becoming common today that say, turn up a sex offender.  This problem can be resolved through litigation if it is truly discrimination.

Check is in the mail.

In court, this can very easily be proven...especially if you have proof that you cashed the check.  You may think about hiring a lawyer, but if you have hard proof that it was a check that was cashed you will be OK.

The leveling scheme of misdemeanors and felonies varies widely by state, but it would likely be the most serious kind of misdemeanor. What passing a bad check would get you also depends widely by state.

I don't think it really matters the amount of the check or which state.  Its illegal regardless and you very well could do time if whomever's account you wrote them on presses charges.

Those are separate issues unrelated to each other.\n\nWhen you write a check, you certify that funds are on deposit at the bank to make good on that check.  There should have been money in the account when he signed the check.  If there was not, he committed a crime.  It does not matter what the purpose of the check was.  \n\nThe only exception to this would be if it were written for an illegal purpose (paying a hired killer, or for illegal drugs) or if it were written under duress (such as if someone were holding a gun to your head or holding a family member for ransom.)\n\nLosing your job is not a defense to writing a bad check and will not get you off the hook for doing so.\n\nIf you do not make good on the check immediately, you could be charged with a crime.  Depending upon the amount of the check, this could even be a felony.  \n\nYou need to contact an attorney immediately.

I imagine you are referring to checks as in the form of punishment, and if you recieve so many checks you lose privileges or go to the office. They are used as a form of control as opposed to detention or paddling. This is a good way to keep children in line.

The bail jumping is an unrelated charge, a completely new crime. Obviously the crime they are jumping bail for was complete by the time they were arraigned for it, so jumping bail must be a new crime. A verdict being passed on it would not imply double jeopardy.

I've never heard of an homeowner's insurance carrier asking about felony convictions.  Shop around for coverage like you would for any type of insurance and don't volunteer the information, but be truthful if the question appears on any application form.  Being deceitful on an application form could result in a denial of coverage.

What's showing on the background check?  If it's the felony arrest (obviously, it shouldn't be the conviction), then you're basically stuck with it.  You can petition the court to have even the arrest removed from your record, but I think it's pretty unlikely.  \n\nIf, for some reason, there's a conviction listed on your background, I'd find out who the company is that provided that information to the apartment management, and contact that company.  You need to find out the source of the information they used to develop that report.

The ink that's printed on the check with your account number is actually magnetic, the reader is then able to read the account number and routing number off the bottom of your check, and it can check your account info against the different check verification sources to determine if a check is likely to clear or not.  If you've had bounced checks you haven't paid and been reported by your bank to one of the verification places, and they have you in their system, then it'll return that info to the merchant trying to run your check and they'll refuse it.

It means writing a check knowing your account may not have sufficient funds to cover it right away.  Some people will float checks a day or two before payday, for instance, and hope their bank posts the paycheck before clearing the checks.\n\nIt's also called 'kiting' a check in some places, and the practice is technically illegal.  New regulations concerning check processing times have almost eliminated the one to three day lag time between writing and depositing.  If the merchant receiving the check runs it electronically, your account could be debited within hours and the check would bounce.

I think a felony record is permanent.  I don't know about all employers,  but I work for the state of Arkansas and I think that if the incident happened at least 10 years,  you are considered for employment.    Sometimes one can get his record sealed so that it won't show up when a back ground is checked.  This is about all I know,  so I wish you good luck in what ever you do.  Sincerely,    David
