What information will you need to investigate the case of a bad check?

First, the check must be received in person in Loudoun County. This will establish jurisdiction within the county to allow for possible prosecution. Second, the victim who accepted the check must send a certified letter (PDF), return receipt requested, to the person who wrote the check. The letter must demand full payment within 5 days of receipt of the letter. Finally, the victim must have the original check including the bank’s reason for non payment.
