you should write a demand letter immediately, send the letter by certified mail, and then wait 30 days. here is a sample demand letter for the state of california that you can send: http://www.courts.ca.gov/11151.htm it seems like most of the demand letters assumed that you tried to cash the check and incurred a service fee. personally, i wouldn't risk incurring even most cost. instead, after 30 days, i would take him to small claims court and show all the evidence you have (checks, receipts, and letters of correspondence).
