I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

client's check bounced after delivery. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $2,920. I have tried contacting their legal department 4 times with no resolution.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Licensed attorney — a few thoughts. Here's my take on the legal issues.

The key question is whether the applicable statute of limitations has run. Depending on your jurisdiction, you typically have Regulation E years for this type of claim.

Before taking legal action, consider sending a formal demand letter. In many cases, this alone resolves the issue.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

What worked for me was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. It took 2-4 months but was worth it.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
