What is the name of your state? Maryland
I wrote a check in January of 2003 and have just received notice from the States Attourney that I have been reported as passing an Illeagal Check and either I pay some $200 and go to a check writing class or I go to court and possible jail.
The check is for $15.09 to the local supermarket.
I don't ever recall getting any messages from them and my bank is trying to locate the check. Their records only go back to June of this year as the rest is archived. That suprised me too but they are looking.
So what I want to know is:
A.) Should I pay the fines, go to the class and get on with my life. In doing so I get no record, no other negative aspects.
B.) Go to court and try to explain that it was a mistake, once I verify that it was my fault, and it has not happened before or since and won't happen again. Like traffic court or that sort of thing. I worry about this option as I know this is a very different court than the one for a speeding ticket.
Thanks,
Kyle
