Asked on Jul 23rd, 2012 on Business Law - Oklahoma
More details to this question:
I took my car into a shop for repair, they had my car for a week. I found out after I paid them, the repairs were not done, so I put a stop payment on the check. I am now being told I commited fraud. What are my options now?
I'm not sure who is telling you that you have committed a fraud, but that is not the case. If you have your car back and the repairs were not performed, and you have not paid any money, you are in the position in which you should be. If the repair shop doesn't like it, they can sue you. Stopping payment on a check is not the same as issuing an NSF check.
