Question

How long do you have to pay off a bad check?

Answer 1

You don't have any amount of time to pay off a bad check.  You're not supposed to write the check if you don't have the money.  It's a checking account, not a line of credit.  You need to talk to your bank about how to fix the situation.  They will let you know what is acceptable to them.
