As you already know, the party issuing the check didn't have enough money in his account to cover the check. Here in Texas we have a "Hot Check Law" which aids in such cases. You should check with the bank for any advice they can offer, and possible with an attorney, as well,for the options available in your state. Good luck!
Bank of First deposit is not an actual bank. It's where the check was first deposited to. When the back of a check shows it was deposited to BOFD, underneath that there should be a routing number. Google that routing number, and that should tell you the name/location of the bank it was actually deposited to.
so that people cant screw with your money.......they want to make sure that your handling your own money and not stealing someone else's money
Negotiable instruments may only ever be endorsed by the payee (ie. the person who can cash it), but many countries provide that cashier's checks are not endorsable.
This happened to me once, my girlfriend tried to cash a cheque in my name. The bank mailed it back to her, so I would assume this means they simply return it to the account holder and reverse the transaction. I think she might have gotten an additional fee for the mistake as well.
Most banks will limit the times an item will be charged back usually between 3-5 times. However, some banks will allow a check to go through processing as many times as the check is deposited. However, the bank that the check is drawn off of may decide to eventually close that account if this check goes through as a charge back too many times.
If you have a bank account and are trying to deposit a check, you will have to sign the back of that check. If the back is not signed, it cannot be deposited or cashed.
Whoever is cashing or depositing the check will sign the back. If you cash it or deposit it yourself it will need endorsed.
The payee, who is the person the check is written to. If they don't sign the back of the check before they deposit it, then the bank the check is drawn on (where the person who wrote the check banks at) can return the check for up to 7 years after it is deposited into the payees account. If that happens, then the bank where the payee banks at (where the check was deposited) will usually debit your account for the amount of the check. Also, if a check is made out to more than one person and includes the word "and" between the persons names, then both must sign or it must be deposited into an account owned by all payees listed on the check and stamped by the bank. If the word "or" is between the names, then only one payee need sign it. If it is made payable to a business or trust, then it must go into a business or trust account. It cannot go into the personal account of the business owner or of a trustee.

Technically, it means that that check cannot be cashed, it can only be deposited into the account listed on the back of the check. (Actually that's not always the case.)

If the check was credited and you have not heard from bank then there should be no problem.
No. A check can be cashed only by the individual to whom the check is made out (issued) to. No one else can cash it even if it is signed by the person to whom the check was given. If you try to do so, it is an illegal activity and you can be jailed for it. But, you can deposit that check into the account of the person to whom the check was given if he has signed the back of the check (endorsed it) and no one will stop you if you do this and it is perfectly legal.

Somebody who has issued cheque to you because of which money will be deposited into your account is returned back ie bank does accept the cheque issued to you for numerous reasons either due to sign mismatch, Account no missing, stale cheque been deposited etc.
Go back to the DMV with a copy of your check they deposited.
