In alot of states, the person getting the bad check is entitled to 3 times the face value of the bad check when prosecuted. You could be in for some real money from this, if the writer doesn't make good on it/them right away.

Carol, Take the bad checks to the prosecuting attorney's office of the county in which the checks were received. (if they were mailed, then your county) We got some bad payroll checks taken care of this way. The P.A. office will have you fill out a form for each bad check and if over a certain amount they can be considered felony offenses. Good Luck,
Carol

In response to Dana West rebuttal to my Rip Off report. The fifth paragraph needs to be reread. It states that one of the makeup artist/stylists who was issued a BAD CHECK had her lawyer call Ms. West. That stylist is Chanel, and she faxed over the paperwork the week her lawyer spoke to Dana West. I also faxed the return advice from my bank with the nsf check to the WMTC ofice 2 WEEKS ago. If WMTC has a policy to take care of its staff and vendors why would they issue paychecks that do not have the funds to cover them??? It is against the law to issue checks with nonsufficient funds. I followed through when I got together a makeup and hair crew for the WMTC event at the request of Al Jones, Dana West and Micheller. I and the other stylists followed through when we reported for work at 5:00 am and worked through the days we were hired to. We followed through when we filled out the tax forms, we followed through when we submitted invoices for services rendered, and we have FOLLOWED THROUGH faxing copies of our Return Advices with the BAD CHECKS that we received from our banks, to the WMTC office. Dana West and her company has not FOLLOWED THROUGH with payment for services rendered. So on behalf of Maria, Chanel, Melissa and myself we will continue to follow through until we are paid the wages we earned and are reimbursed for the bank fees we incurred due to being paid by Dana West and her company with NSF CHECKS!

Our Accountant responded that he/she should please send any documentation regarding this incident via fax. The fax WAS NEVER received. As a matter of fact, her lawyer stated that he would not send this information to WMTC. WMTC makes it a policy to take care of its staff and vendors and this appears to be someone not following through with what was requested.
