Al, There are specific statutes in each state about bad checks. Here in NY we can charge a premium of $25 on a REDEEMED check. If they make you go the court route, you can get a judgement up to 3 times the face value of the check. When we get a rubber check, ALL WORK STOPS on their equipment until the check is redeemed + the fee. I then give them the opportunity to pay for the entire job up front then and there, or ask that it will be paid IN CASH before the return trip. The fact that THEY didn't call YOU and appologize before now , makes them shady in my book! Jim McVey McVey Alltronix 327 Broadway Newburgh N.Y. 12550 "If it doesn't play... CALL MCVEY !!!!!!"
