Rant: My biggest client paid me with a check that bounced in 2018

I was in my apartment in Charlotte, about to pay rent, when my bank called to say the $4,200 check from a long-term design client was no good. I had to take a small loan from my dad to cover bills while I spent three months in small claims court to get my money. Has anyone else had to chase down a bad check, and what's your cutoff for demanding a different payment method now?

So you got the money after three months in court, but did they ever give you a real reason for the bad check? Like was it just a mistake in their account, or were they actually trying to stall and not pay you? I'd be worried they'd try to hire me again after that.

How did you survive three months in small claims court?
