| Bad Check Procedure, if you receive a bad check |
| First and foremost, We are not lawyers, nor accountants, please keep this in mind!! This is just some helpful information that we are willing to pass along to CCS' Inc vendors. But please do your own research... Thanks for understanding. We take no responsibility for any outcome that you may have. Accepting Checks: When accepting checks you should always get a Drivers License number, State of Issue, Date of Birth and Expiration date. If you do not get this information, it is harder for you to collect your bad debt. Bad Check: First step is to call the phone number you have written down or on check. Speak to person whom wrote the check, not another member of the household and tell them your procedure for collecting on checks. 9 out of 10 times they will comply and send you your monies plus your bounced check fee. You can tell them once you contact the Fourth Judicial, the fees do go up. It will be 4 times the amount of check, (please check this , prior to stating to them, law changes often, and I will not update this, so please check first). Note also criminal prosecution may be a potential, but this is the decision of the District Attorneys Office. If they still don't send in the time period you have given them... Now you can proceed with... Contacting the 4th Judicial District Bad Check Restitution Program The El Paso & Teller County Programs number is 866.398.0759 or 4thjudicialCO@checkprogram.com You want to follow their instructions, but this is whom you would contact. Please get the information, before writing to your debtor. I hope this helps, again Creative Crafters' Showcase, Inc. , Noreen and//or Anthony Guglielmo take no responsibility for these statements. This is just posted to help you. We take no responsibilities in your contacting the above office or of your outcome in your procedures you choose. |
