Question

I made a check to a person that told me he was going to pay a company and he keeped the money?

Answer

Your question is a bit unclear. If you gave a person a check to pay a debt you owed a company and he just cashed the check and kept the money from the check, then you can sue that person for conversion, breach of contract, etc. Why did yo give him the money and not your creditor? You can sue for up to $7,500 in Small Claims Court. If you wish to discuss further the matter you can call me at 510-441-2684.

Answer

Report the fraud to the police, and sue the person..
