I've got no problem with them trying to collect. I have a problem with their
rude behavior and threats. The check was not returned for insufficient funds
(NSF) it was returned because the account was closed.

I politely explained that the checkbook had been stolen, and that I had
closed the account. They told me that if I didn't provide a notorized
affidavit from the bank, they would press charges.

It's not my fault they accepted a stolen check. If they had bothered
checking, they would have found the account was closed before giving the
thief the merchandise. That's simply a risk they take when they accept
checks.

I'm not taking time off from work to go get paperwork from a bank because
they say so.

BTW, my wife is in court today testifying.

Criminal!

How could anyone be so dastardly as to try to collect on a bounced
check?
