We are in OK, USA. My friend came to me saying that a “friend” of his asked him to cash a $4000 check for her because she didn’t have a bank account. My friend cashed the check, gave her the cash and, surprise, the check bounced and she blocked his number. His checking account is now overdrafted $3200.
I doubt there’s any legal recourse he can pursue because he cashed the check himself. He works a minimum wage job and doesn’t have access to credit cards.
My question is whether there are any resources that are available to him that can maybe help him work towards paying it back, or what his next steps should be?
Edit to add: Might seem like a stupid question as I am not originally from the US and have no experience with student loans, would it be possible to use his student loans to cover the overdraft?
