State of Florida. I wrote 2 checks in the same night to a casino for a total of $2500. Long story, short. My husband didn't know I wrote the checks (we had just opened our joint checking account - lovely start) - he used the money in the account for something else. Now, they are in collections and I'm terrified that a warrant will be issued for my arrest or something equally horrific. We will be filing for Chapter 7 in the Fall.
Since they are in collections, I was thinking of paying them a small amount each month as good faith on the larger check and just paying off the smaller check ($230) in full. If I do this, will that make a difference in whether or not they prosecute me? I honestly have bounced checks in the past but ALWAYS paid as soon as I was notified. This was the first month we had combined checking accounts - we've always maintained our own accounts up to this point. I've never been a good record keeper, but this just got totally messed up!!!!
