Answers:
There may be a simpler solution, but it depends on your state. In my state, wage disputes are handled by the Department of Labor. If I knew what state you were from, I might be able to find out. In my state the Department of Labor is really fast. They usually schedule and hear wage disputes within 1-4 weeks. Try going on line and looking for state agencies. Mess around with your state's website and see if you can find a similar agency for your state.
They legally can do a lot to you for taking money that isn't yours, including suing you.
Call the HR department at this job and ask if they can deduct what you owe them from what they owe you. then find another job.
You knew the check was incorrect but you cashed it anyway? Too bad, you owe them. You didn't earn the money, it's not yours.
As far as your OT goes, you'll have to sue them for it. These are two separate matters.
Why do they owe you the money? Did they not pay you for overtime work that you were told you would be paid for?
