Submitting a Bad Check

Registration

If you have not yet registered with the Check Enforcement Program, it is important that you provide basic information regarding your company. (See accompanying Merchant’s Registration Form.) You need only register one time, but if any of your information changes, please inform our office.

Preparing Checks For Referral

• Enclose the original check with the Check Complaint form. Make a photocopy of the checks you are referring (both sides) for your files.

 • Each check writer you refer to our office for enforcement must be accompanied by a Check Complaint form. This form lists all the information needed to process the bad check. It is important that you fill out as much of the information as possible to assure effective enforcement. If you do not know a piece of information you can still refer the check.

 • Please write or print information clearly. Checks are often very difficult to read. One of the reasons for filling out a Complaint Form is to assure we can read names, dates and amounts accurately.
