My state is Georgia.
While I was vacationing far from home, a friend acting as my agent sold an item of mine to a woman named Stephanie for $1000. Stephanie came with her boyfriend James to pick-up the item from my friend and immediately paid with a check the boyfriend had written for $1000. The check was made payable to my friend and was postdated 3-days from the date of the transaction.
Two days later, Stephanie calls my friend and tells him not to cash the check. She says that she and her boyfriend would be stopping by and substituting another $1000 check. My friend complied, but Stephanie never returned with the 2nd check. When my friend then deposited the $1000 check, he found a stop payment had been placed.
Stephanie has my item, but I have not been paid. Clearly my friend can sue James for the $1000...But would another option be for me to sue Stephanie for the $1000?
