Bad Checks

What are the statue of limitations for writing bad checks?

I issued a check to some one and realized it would not be honored by my Bank. I immediately contacted the person and sent them a replacement check drawn from another bank. This individual cashed both checks because the first bank transferred funds from my credit card to cover the check. The individual now refuses to pay my money back. This was a contractor who was working on my home. Can this individual be charged with Theft by Deception The amount of the check is $5500.00.

Georgia Criminal Code 16-9-20, Deposit Account Fraud (bad check). A person commits the offense of deposit account fraud when such person makes, draws, utters, executes, or delivers an instrument for the payment of money on any bank or other depository in exchange for a present consideration or wages, knowing that it will not be honored by the drawee. My question is: define "present consideration" as it is used in this code section.

What are the statute of limitations on a bad check in the state of Kansas? I wrote a bad check almost ten years ago and I thought that it had been taken care of, but I received a letter saying that I have an arrest warrant because of this.

I received a check from a previous employer. I cashed the check in good faith at a check cashing service. The check was written on January 25th, cashed on January 31st, and deposited by the service on the 2nd of February. A stop payment order was placed on the check. On April 20th the check cashing service drafted a letter stating that I owed them for the amount of the check. The letter was mailed out on May 9th which is 21 days later arriving at my home on the 11th of May. Almost 2 1/2 months have passed since the check was cashed. Do I owe the money or is it my employer who owes the money and how long does a service have to contact me and let me know. I was given 30 days to resolve but it took 21 days to get the letter to me.
