I have bounced a check here and htere and I didnt do it on purpose.. it was an oversight.... forgot to write a check in the register or something like that!

I dont think its fair to not offer her fundraisers any more but I do agree with the poster who said cash only... matter of fact I dont use checks any more because I forget to put them in the resigester.

Chances are she has already been notified by the back that she bounced said check. so she is expecting a call probably. she is probably embarased and afraid to call.. but that is what I do. I call the person and say hey, I just found out I bounced a check with you can I pay it on friday, and what is the NSF fee? most people understand it happens. anyway. if she is a real friend she wont get mad at you. and if she does get mad at you you need to find friends who take responsibility for thier own actions!!!

MHO. I hope all goes well as money and friends are a sticky situtaion!!!

The Leader called me last night and asked me if I knew this person because their check bounced.

Personally I think this was inappropriate of the leader. It's her/his job to handle scout business. She sounds too immature to be in a position of responsibility if she cannot handle something as basic as a bounced check without involving others. Your "friend's" inability to handle her own finances is certainly not any of your business. Eventually she'll either clean up her act or she'll give a bad check to the wrong person in which case the law will handle it. Some people only seem to learn this the hard way.

Keep a polite distance, and never let her know that you knew...let the Leader handle things......actually the Leader should not have put you in the "middle" of this irrespective of whether you knew the woman or not........

As a leader myself that leader should not have even contacted you about it, that is a breach of privacy. No one is allowed under any circumstances to tell a third party that a check was returned, that is private business and now your friend has every right to complain to the BSA head offices and that leader can lose their position over this. Stay out of it completely concerning collecting anything. You will have to decide if you should tell your friend that their privacy was violated. It doesn't matter if the person routinely bounces checks all over town, that is their business, it's private, and it is a violation and in most states illegal for the matter to be discussed with a third party.
