I worked as a consultant for a very dishonest person who now owns a very large piece of property and is doing business on Long Island. This person wrote four bad checks to me for services rendered. They are each between $2,000 and $5,000. So I sent notice and he didn't accept it each time. I think his house is in the name of his wife and I don't know if he is claiming residence there either.
I was able to find out more about him and it seems he has been sued before a couple of times for a lot more money. I asked a lawyer about suing him and he said you will probably never be able to collect. You'll have to find the right address to serve him properly. Even if I win it will cost a lot of money to find his information to get money. This is because his businesses are not under his personal name. And he knows it probably isn't worth the time.
I really don't want this person to do what he did to me to do it to anybody else. I'm sure he is. I heard that writing bad checks is a crime. I would definitely report him and at least make him responsible for what he did and probably still doing. Who would I report it to? And is there any hope for me to sue him for the bad checks and not be a total waste of time?
