I need some advice here! I have been a nanny to a family of 2 boys for the
Past 2 months. July 26th was my last day as I told her that I couldn't sit for
Them anymore. She paid me each week on Thursday. So she gave me my check for
$264. I always go straight to the bank to cash it, which I did. The next day she
Stops payment on the check and now I'm out the $264 + the bank fees!! I did
The time and I deserve to get paid. Can they get away with that? They are in the
Mist of building a $525,000 house. She was very pissed when I told her that I
Couldn't sit any more, so that's why she stopped the payment, but I babysat
All week and deserve to get paid! I filed a Civil Complaint... she get it in
The mail... she then sends me a certified nasty letter and a check for $264... I deposit the $264 and can you believe... it BOUNCED!! Yep... also,
During that time, she went to the District Justice's office and filled a
Defense... now tell me... if she thinks she's innocent, then!
Why would she send me a 2nd check AFTER she get the Civil Complaint in the
Mail? So now I have 2 bad checks... 2 fees from the bank... agrahhhhhh... and
Now the court date is moved to Sept. 18th since she filled a defense! Any
Advice?

Turn the checks over to the DA ( or the department that files charges for bad checks, and then also file civil case ( sue them) in small claims court.

That is all you can do.
