Me:"Yes my name is xxxxx xxxxx I recieved a letter claiming I owe the d.a.'s office $840,I don't understand all of my checks have been approved."

D.A.'s Office:"Well Mr.xxxxx,let me look on the computer."

D.A.'s Office:"The owner reported you for 5 bad checks totaling $385,the prosecing fee is so much and the d.a.'s fee is so much totaling $840."

Me:"Okay first off,i've never had a overdraft in my life and if these checks was bad,i'd have a overdraft or a bounce correct?"

D.A.'s:"Well you can go to jail,bail yourself out,and tell the judge(that'll cost me $1650)or you can come pay it!"

Meexact words)"i'll pay it and if this happends agian i'll sue and WIN,do you pepole think I am a idiot?!They never told me I had any bad checks,matter of fact,they owner loaned me $5 on night when my atm card broke,so someone is screwing me out of my f*in money and I don't apreciate it!!Let me guess I cannot speak to a D.A.?"

D.A.'S office:"If you do not have a attorney it will not be wise."

*Click*I hung up the phone

$840 in 5 days,for one,I believe that is unconstiutional,considering this is the first i've heard.Why don't we pull out of Iraq in 5 days?Yeah....that what I tought.
prob less of a Conspiractcy and more of a scam, where did you get the number to the da's office? from the letter? do gas stations accept checks? (no, not around here. :wtf

sounds like somone is trying to scare you into a hasty payment.

also: why dont you go to that gas station to inquire about this? and when they tell you its bullshit. bring it to the police.
