What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
What are my legal rights if I cash a check that was 18 months old and written out to me? Did I do anything wrong? Can I be sued for cashing this check by the individual who wrote it out to me?
I'm just concerned because the individual who wrote it to me is saying that the circumstances under which he offered me the money no longer exist. Is this a valid claim? They are stating they want to take legal action against me. As far as I am concerned this money was a personal gift. The check is a personal check from one "friend" to another. There is no contract present. Can this person legally make me pay them back?
