There are repercussions to a check cashing place if charges are made for a bounced check as long as the person making the bounced check knows that there aren't funds available for immediate use. If you are writing a check, you're liable for charges if the money isn't in the account at the time of the check cashing.

If a customer's check bounces due to insufficient funds what can you do other than hire a lawyer?
You can file either criminal or civil charges. Go to your local police dept for criminal charges or to your local small claims court for the civil action to collect the check. Either remedy works.

Call the customer to be certain that they know the check bounced; give them a second chance to make good on it--that day. Most local governments have a reporting office for bounced checks.

If you rented furniture from Aarons in Missouri and didn't pay for it can they press charges and take you to jail?
Probably not. In order to make criminal charges and have you arrested, the store must establish that you violated a criminal law. Not paying a bill is breaching a contract, but is not a criminal offense. However, if you were trying to steal, such as refusing to return the furniture, or if you bounced checks, those would be criminal offenses for which you could be prosecuted. Simply not paying a bill would lead to civil recovery, so they could sue you, lien your property, or attach to your credit.
What is the difference between federal criminal charges as opposed to just criminal charges?
