What to do if I’m seeking compensation from an associate who already has issued an NFS check?
He gave me the run around for 3 weeks before I sent, via certified mail, a collections notice. The 9th day of the 10 day collections notice, he messaged me informing me that there was damaged equipment, and that the issued check was cancelled as payment for the damaged equipment. I had signed a rental agreement with him, stating that compensation was functionally a security deposit, and, following the return of the equipment, in tact, I would receive payment. As he presented a check to me, that satisfied the rental agreement, and I still have the NFS check to worry about in small claims now. Should/can I possibly pursue more damages?

Based upon what you have written concerning you matter I would move forward with your small claims court matter seeking as damages the face amount of the check, accrued interest, the filing and service fees and the NSF fees as your compensation from your former associate.
