Shall I tell my new employer that I went to jail for writing a bad check for $23?

Question

I got the job as a governess to a wonderful family. She called me today to let me know that I was the chosen one. I am very happy because the children looked very good, 12 and 6. After the interview --she asked me if I had anything to declare like if I had a criminal record or killed anyone (yet). I laughed so hard and then it dawned on me that I had been stopped by an officer for not having a lisence plate -I explained later that the car is brand new. When I handed to the officer the veh reg, it wasn't under my name -I had to point it out that my father got the car but I am the payor. The officer let me go,then, he stopped me -I was arrested because when he ran my DMV record, it showed that I had written a bad check to Fantastic Sams for $23. I remembered this -a check I wrote -for a haircut on my bday. It bounced because my direct deposit failed the first time. I called FS's and offered money I owed plus -overdraft fee. FS told me to pay the court. I moved to La in 06 and forgot.

Answer 1

I would explain it just like you did here and be truthful to the lady because if she runs background check it may show up and then it would seem as if you was trying to hide something and by the way you have your question in the wrong section however I hope I have helped you out

Answer 2

They arrested you just because you wrote a bad check? I've known people to write bad checks and none of them got arrested. As long as the bank paid the fee, which they obviously did since you owed the overdraft fee, then technically you didn't write a bad check...the check had to have cleared for you to have to pay the overdraft fee.

Answer 3

definatelt explain the sutuation and laugh it off .. any reasonable person would understand that

Answer 4
