What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey.
Hi,
A check was made out to my fiancee and he endorsed the check over to me where I cashed the check at my bank. (he didn't have his wallet on him at the time and I offered to do this).
I cashed it at my bank on Sat Aug 1st, therefore the date of transaction per the bank is Aug 3rd. Unbeknownst to us, the person stopped payment on the check on Aug 3rd as well. My bank charged me the amount of the check plus a $10 fee - totalling $1300 that was taken out of my account.
Can I take the person that wrote to check to Small claims court in NJ to seek reimbursement? Even though she didn't write the check to me, I was the last person to endorse the check and cash it.
I can't seem to get a clear answer on this. And I don't want to be in court in front of a judge who will throw the case out because I can't legally seek reimbursement from the person that wrote the check.
Thank you.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
