I live in New York. A friend of mine asked me to cash a check for $450. It was issued from another bank, but I never saw the check. When we went to the bank, he demanded that he punched in the numbers to the transaction (but not my PIN). He recieved his money and paid me $20 for my troubles. Two weeks later, I received a notice that my bank account was in the negatives. The check I had cashed for him turned out to be only worth $100. I had to use most of my tax refund to cover this negative balance. Upon asking him for the money back, my friend said he spent it all and is currently out of a job. Can I press charges against him and force a repo of his car to cover this expense?
