Well first of all, I AM NOT A DUDE, the username is Zippysgoddess, a goddess is FEMALE.
Second of all, I did not bash whatsoever, I simply stated the facts, if I wanted to bash it would be a lot worse and a lot more harsh than that.
The OP wanted to know why they are facing this, why it is now a criminal charge and etc. I simply stated why, that is the truth and reality of the situation. If they hadn't ignored prior notices, this would not have happened. They don't just slap you with charges for a bounced check, they give you a chance to make good on it.
And to the OP, apparently since you did not respond to the prior letter(s) or even go into the store to straighten it out,(which you could have done, you knew you wrote the check and could have paid them as soon as you found out they were still outstanding) they decided that you deliberately closed the account to avoid making good on that check. Wal-Mart is one of the worst places to do that, they tend to get very upset and nasty over it.
I have no idea what the bad check or criminal check fraud laws are in your state, hopefully someone else can come in and provide more advice on what you might be facing.
Maybe, if you walk in with all money in hand and agree to make good on it, in full, including court fees, you will get off easy.
