Pay to call ScottGem for advice ($.75/min) | Did you deliberately bounce the check? Did you ever make restitution? If you haven't made restitution, I would contact the MA Attorney General's office offering restitution and asking how you can make the warrant go away. |

Pay to call ScottGem for advice ($.75/min) | What was the check for? Payment on one of those debts that have been cleared up? What happened when the bank or the creditor notified you that the check went NSF? | |

| The check was at a Shaw's in fall river for 63.43 in 2000. The debt I paid off was for not paying 2 credit cards. This happened after when i moved i didn't work for 11 months. Now I'm a programmer and make more then enough to pay any restitution they give me. | |

| I did nothing. My fiance at the time was on the account also and the mail went to her. The only thing that I found out was from my bank a couple of years later when I had a - balance on it. | |

Pay to call ScottGem for advice ($.75/min) | So, you wrote a check, it bounced. You never contacted the payee to reimburse the check. So the payee pressed charges and a warrant was issued. I'm not in the least surprised. I'd ask why you did nothing, but the answer is moot. Contact the Mass AG offer to reimbursement the amount including any NSF fees and ask what else needs to be done to clear your record. | |

| Hello tn:
You have three choices: 1) Hire an attorney to negotiate for you, 2) get on the horn and negotiate yourself, or 3) do nothing and wait for the man.... He'll be there.
