Check written on a closed account
I am a professional organizer in the state of Ga. I did work for a woman on Aug. 16th. It is my policy to collect pmt. On the day of services. She was not at home when I needed to leave, but I was to come back the next morning to complete the job, and thought I'd collect then. But, on the evening of the 16th she called me complaining about certain things. Seems she had mistaken me for her cleaning lady. Rather than going around in circles with her bad temperament I said, lets call it a day and just send me a check for the amount due. She agreed. LONG story short, she has lied about sending a check twice, and lied about putting a money order in the mail and sending it certified once. I drove to her home, and ask for a check right then. She wrote it to my name followed by cleaning services. I refused it, because I could not have cashed or deposited it in that name. She added that to get my goat. Not her first attempt by far. Finally she wrote one to me and I left. I got a text the next day saying she wrote it on the wrong acct and needed that check back. She has stood me up twice when we were to meet to exchange the check for cash. I took the check to the bank and it was written on a closed acct. What is my recourse? Is writing a check on a closed acct a federal offence? It is only for $100.00 but the principle of the thing is eating me up.
