Issuing Bad Checks Charges in Phoenix, Arizona

When a person issues or passes a check knowing that sufficient funds do not exist to cover the value of the check is considered a crime of issuing bad checks. The following determines the defendant was knowledgeable of insufficient funds:

  • The check owner failed to pay the holder the full amount due on the check within 12 days after receiving notice of the check not being honored upon presentation
  • • The check was written against a closed account at the time the check was issued or passed
    If you are charged with issuing bad checks, there are many defenses provided by the law including, but are not limited to:
  • A postdated check with sufficient funds available on the postdate
  • Lack of sufficient funds were due to an adjustment to the person’s account by the credit institution without notice to that person

If the amount of the issuing bad check is five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more and the person fails to pay the full amount of the check plus interest within sixty (60) days of receiving notice of insufficient funds, the issuing bad check offense is considered to be a Class 6 Felony.
