I own a small business (pet grooming). Recently a customer used by company twice to bathe his hound dog including pick-up and delivery. The total for both visits was $50.00. After requesting payment a couple of times, he made me come to his work to pick up a check. The check was returned from the bank for insufficient funds. When I contacted the bank, they told me that the account in inactive. I believe my customer wrote the check on an account which he knew was closed. Isn't this a federal offense? Since the check was returned, I have left the customer a couple of messages and sent a letter. I have not received any answer to any of my attempts to contact him. What is my best course of action at this point?
Thank you for taking the time to respond.

My response:
All you can do is file an action in Small Claims court for the amount owed. If you had told us your State, for example, California, then there would have been much more we could tell you. But, you didn't.
