Call their bank and try to explain the situation. Maybe they can do something.
Even though they did not sign a contract, the 10 post dated checks show that they were intending to pay the full amount, so you have that on your side if you have to go to court.
What state do you live in? Maybe there's a branch of the state government that can help you.Your mom should already know that post dating checks is illegal in most states, and she should not have accepted them. What she should have done is had them write all the checks dated for that day, and then held each until the prespecified future date, at which point she would cash them. The amount of items they took should have been meted out in installments too. Either way, Sounds like she got ripped off.Make sure the check is cashed on the day it is written on, not in advance. If it is, and it bounces, try it again. If it bounces a second time, notify the District Attorney in your city or county. That is a felony.ee is right, but what your mom should know if she's a business woman is that you NEVER give merchandise until full payment has been received!!who doe's that? your mom is to trusting .

Don't accept any more post dated checks, and put the other business on a cash only basis until they catch up.Punch your tough luck card
