Do writing bad checks affect credit score? (if the bank is made whole from the bad check)?

the Short Answer is... No

...as long as you paid it before them taking legal action, hence a judgement which would/could show up on your credit report and then would affect a lower score.

Since you paid them, you should be fine.

You might find it harder to cash checks in the future, if you are in Check-Systems, or one of the services that report this to retailers.

Also, one bad check does not a bad person make. If you do this on a regular basis, it is a matter of time before the bank shuts your account down... But not before draining you dry with the rediculous fees.

No. You credit score is determined by how much you use your credit card and how you pay off your bill. Writing bad checks does nothing to your credit score. They are two seperate things.
