Worthless Checks

People who intentionally pass worthless checks with the intent to defraud violate the criminal laws of Florida. We have developed a Worthless Check Collection and Diversion Division to help you recover the loss you suffered from a bad check. We need your assistance to prosecute the person who gave you a worthless check.

On this page you will find all the necessary documents to begin the process of prosecuting those who write worthless checks.
