What if the law around writing bad checks in Florida?

Answer

Florida has this to say about bad checks:

Send a letter by certified mail with return receipt, or by first class mail to the check writer at the address on the check or given at the time of issuance demanding payment. The check writer has 30 days to respond and remit payment. The letter must be in substantially the form set out below.

(date)

Dear (check writer):

You are hereby notified that a check numbered _____, in the face amount of $______, issued by you on __(date)__, drawn upon (name of bank), and payable to ___(payee)__, has been dishonored. Pursuant to Florida Law you have 30 days from the date of this notice to tender payment of the full amount of such check plus a service charge of $25, if the face value does not exceed $50; $30, if the face value exceeds $50 but does not exceed $300; $40 if the face value exceeds $300, or an amount of up to 5% of the face amount of the check, whichever is greater. The total amount due is $__________.

Unless this amount is paid in full within the time specified above, the holder of such check may turn over the dishonored check and all other available information relating to this incident to the State Attorney for criminal prosecution. You may be additionally liable in a civil action for triple the amount of the check, but in no case less than $50, together with the amount of the check, as service charge, courts costs, reasonable attorney fees, and incurred bank fees, as provided in s. 68.065, Florida Statutes.
