Technically they probably cannot but practically speaking they probably can. Do you owe the money? If you owe the money to pay it.

Don't mix apples and oranges and confuse "civil" with "criminal" matters.

Yes. If you write a check on insufficient funds, the payee of the check can seek a criminal complaint. However, depending on the circumstances, the amount of the check, etc., you would most likely be given the opportunity to resolve the matter without receiving a criminal conviction. Usually through a pre-trial diversion program.
