is a hot check under $25 a misdemeanor or a felony?

EVERY "hot" check is a FEDERAL OFFENSE because it is bank fraud.

No do not tell them that those are like the parking tickets of crime. Those aren't reported the same way I used to work in the court just leave it out. Plus it can cost up to $200.00 bucks to background check someone not every company is going to want to spend that kind of money for every applicant. Unless its a corporate job. But to the point petty offenses don't show up.

CheckSmart is feeding you a line of bull$h!t.  As long as you are making a reasonable effort to pay off a just debt they CANNOT turn you over for collection (under the Fair Debt Collection Act)and they sure as heck CANNOT have a warrant issued for your arrest if they can't prove that you deliberately committed bank fraud.  \n\nHere's what you do:  Get the name, address, telephone number, and FAX number of the manager of the Columbus CheckSmart office.  Write him/her personally and explain the situation.  Be sure to FAX a copy to them ASAP and make sure you keep a copy of the letter.  Let them know that you're willing to pay the debt but you simply can't hand over that kind of money right now because you got scammed out of a huge chunk of money yourself.  Send the original via UPS or FedEx so you can ensure your letter makes it there before noon on Friday.  If you don't hear from the manager by Friday, call on Monday and ask to speak to him/her.  If this person is not willing to accommodate you, that's when you start playing hard-ball.\n\nIf the manager says he/she is going to get a warrant sworn out for your arrest, then tell him/her your lawyer will be in court the very next day filing a damages lawsuit against CheckSmart for wrongful prosecution, and that he/she will be named as one of the defendants in the suit.  \n\nIf the manager demands payment in full, tell him/her that you will pay what you can on a schedule but that's all you can do.  \n\nIf he/she tells you that's not acceptable, your reply is that you're not asking -- you're telling him what you can and will do and he/she will just have to live with it.  And if he/she has a problem with it, encourage him/her to read up on the Fair Debt Collection Act.\n\nYou should probably contact a lawyer as well.  Look in the Yellow Pages for attorneys that give free initial consultations.  You might get someone who will take your case pro bono (for free).\n\nGood luck!

Felony charges are only allowed to work behind the gun counter.  Misdeamenors are only allowed to count cash.

Most definitely! As long as it doesn't totally render the bill unrecognizeable, you can write things on it without getting sent to jail. You may get a stare if the cashier happens to see it, but just ignore them.

Most places are concerned with felony charges, or violent misdemeanors. It will show on your record if checked, but may not disqualify you for a job. You do not have to select felony, because you didn't have one, but never misrepresent yourself on an application. Misdemeanors do show on criminal reports. I worked in staffing for 2 years, so trust me - don't lie!  Most places would rather hire you if you are honest than if you try to lie about it. It makes you look unaccountable and irresponsible to lie about it.

No matter if it's a misdemeanor or a felony, you would find yourself in a lot of "hot water" (possibly cited, arrested, or jailed) and out of a lot of money trying to defend yourself.  Then you would have to pay penalties to make your car's registration current.   Not worth it.....

If a person is charged with assault with indent to commit great bodily harm it depends on the circumstances under which the assault took place as to whether it's a first, second or third degree felony. If the attacking person was doing so to protect himself or someone with him the chances of it being made a misdemeanor are very good, or even having the case dismissed as self defense, if not, he's looking at a felony. I truly hope all goes well for your BIL.

I think you might be confusing robbery with theft or maybe shoplifting.  If you are unsure, find out because robbery is much more serious.  \n\nIf it is theft then it varies from one place to another, but it usually would be a misdemeanor in most places.  \n\nNow, if we are talking about robbery it is usually a felony.  If a weapon was involved, or if someone was injured, then it would DEFINITELY be a felony.\n\nKeep in mind, the dollar amount is not the only determing factor of what it is, misdemeanor or felony.

Nope.  They have to be sure you didnt cash it.\nYour friend really needs to pursue the issue since he wrote the check.

It is two times the check, plus the amount of the check, or $100 plus the amount of check, whichever is greater, plus costs in the amount of $250.00.  However (and this is a big however because a lot of people skip this step) the following notice must be sent to the drafter of the check:\n\nNOTICE PURSUANT TO MCL § 600.2952\n\nA check, draft, or order for payment of money drawn by you for $XXX was returned dishonored for:   \n[X] Insufficient funds\n[ ] No account \n\nThis notice is a formal demand for payment of the full amount of the dishonored checks, drafts, or orders plus a processing fee of $25.00 for a total amount of $XXX+25.00. If you pay this total amount within 7 days, excluding weekends and holidays, after the date this notice was mailed, no further civil action will be taken against you. \n\nIf you do not pay the $XXX+25.00 as requested above, but within 30 days after the date this notice was mailed you pay the amount of the dishonored check, draft, or order plus a $35.00 processing fee, for a total amount of $XXX+35.00, no further civil action will be taken against you. \n\nIf you fail to pay either amount indicated above, I/we/our client will be authorized by state law to bring a civil action against you to determine your legal responsibility for payment of the check, draft, or order and civil damages and costs allowed by law. \n\nIf you dispute the dishonoring of this check, draft, or order, you should also contact your bank or financial institution immediately.

It depends upon the misdemeanor and the felony.

MISDEMEANORS. A class 1 (A) misdemeanor or Serious Misdemeanor falls right after a class 6 (F) felony. Different States will have different laws. \n\nHere is a sample of some from various states: \n\nProviding liquor to a minor-Class A misdemeanor\n \nState of Alabama makes it a Class A misdemeanor for anyone to desecrate a venerated object\n\nClass A misdemeanor of interference with reporting of crime.\n\nthe act of entering an area of an airport to which access is controlled by the inspection of persons or property without submitting to the inspection.\n\nAlabama: Identity theft in which the defendant has not previously been convicted of identity theft and there is no financial loss or the financial loss is $500 or less constitutes identity theft in the second degree.  Identity theft in the second degree is a Class A misdemeanor\n\nOregon: False swearing is a Class A misdemeanor\n\nIndiana: A person who operates a vehicle while intoxicated commits a Class A misdemeanor\n\nif damages are less than $500, institutional vandalism is a class A misdemeanor\n\ndriving in a careless and imprudent manner at a rate of speed so as to cause moderate or serious physical injury, a class A misdemeanor \n\nAlaska: Theft by deception Third degree is a Class A misdemeanor

It is a federal felony offense.  You should inform your local postmaster along with the police and let them handle it.
