Unfortunately most business checks have printed on them void after XXX days for this reason. She may be a deadbeat for whatever reasons, however, she sent you a check, and you failed to cash it. She wouldn't have to issue you a new check at all because that is printed on there void after so many days, and you received it... even if you took her to court, the judge would rule against you I think. It was your fault, and the court doesn't care about illness, fires, destructions, acts of God, and apparently she doesn't either. That is all besides the point. I would be grateful you even found the check and that she would settle for $10.00 reduction and take the $90.00. That is better than nothing. jmo |
