    I was a Nanny for a Family and they stopped payment on check!
    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.
