Potential theft by check; full payment made but not acknowledged

[Epsilon]

Hi everyone, and thank you in advance for your assistance.

My father accidentally bounced a small check to Stop & Shop, INC a few weeks ago. He was contacted by AHOLD USA (their parent company) and told that if he didn't make a payment soon, he "could" be charged with Theft by Check which is apparently a misdemeanor.

I took out a money order on Friday September 26th for the full amount, including fees, and sent it in. On Saturday, October 4, however, Stop & Shop attempted to cash his check again. I'm guessing that means that they have not received or processed the payment.

My question is this. If they move to take legal action against him, will they drop charges once the Money Order is processed? Or will they proceed with the legal action?

Thanks again.

You need to contact them and give all the information regarding the money order - date, order number, when it was sent and amount. The problem now is that they have presented the check again so they will have another fee added to the amount of the check. Call them to ensure that the new fee will be covered and to make sure the matter will be put to rest once they receive all the moneys due to them.
