Who is responsible for overdraft fees on a bad check?

Asked by Rv654321 (228points) December 6th, 2010

I had a customer pay for her wedding cake with a check. I usually dont take payment with check on the day of delivering a cake but I was late and in a hurry for another delivery. Anyways I deposited the check to my bank account to find out three days later it had bounced. Like usual the bank charged and NSF fee for the bounced check, but I also recieved multiple Overdraft fees to my account due to transcations that posted after the check bounced. I have been trying to contact this person for about a week with no luck until yesterday when she finally answered to an email where I threatend to take legal action if she didnt respond back to me. She said she would pay me this past weekend and still havent heard from her yet. My questions is if she can be held responsible for those overdraft fees I acquired because of her bounced check or am I stuck with them?
