A MESSAGE FROM ELIZABETH A. EGAN (FRESNO COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY): Original link: N.S.F. Check Enforcement and Diversion Program is one of the few criminal justice programs that is cost effective, and self-funded with the revenues generated. The large dollar amount of restitution returned to the community, together with the fact that the program is totally financed by the bad check writers, makes this a truly innovative government program. It is precisely the type of public service program that should be encouraged, and supported in this time of budgetary constraints and shrinking resources.

Most business owners receive bad checks. Most returned checks are NSF, but there are also "stop payment†and closed account†checks. In cases such as these business often wonder about using their local District Attorney office or Prosecutor's office because several states have a "bad check restitution†program or a "worthless check unit.†These program also go under designations such as a "bogus check program,†a "check diversion program,†"prosecuting attorney check recovery program,†and "pre-trial diversion.†In some cases, a check enforcement unit can be more effective than a collection agency. In other cases you may find that the program is more trouble than it is worth. I have been told there are DA offices that rely upon "investigators†and investigators do not accept each submitted check. Too, with most bad check restitution programs, there is some paperwork and you may not have much access to the status of the collection efforts.One g

One possible way to collect bad checks is to submit them to your local District Attorney’s office. Some prosecutors have a special “bogus check” check program (also known as a “worthless check” or “check diversion” program). These programs typically are free, do require some paperwork from business owners, but can be very effective. If your business gets a lot of bounced checks, this is probably not the best way to process your bad checks. A free way to collect multiple bad business checks is to use a collection service, one of which is described on http://www.bumchecks.com/ (this web site discusses NorthStar Technologies, a national check recovery service for returned checks).If you are a District Attorney and are thinking of starting a check diversion program, NorthStar can actually outsource this for you for free.
