Free bad check collection service for school corporations

NorthStar Technologies is a nationwide collection agency that specializes in the collection of bad checks.  It offers a "free and easy" returned check collection service to any public or private U.S. educational institution.

NSF (non sufficient funds) checks are submitted to polite but firm collection efforts for 60 days.  About 90% of all nsf checks can be collected in this way, and school corporations receive back the full face value of the nsf check plus 25% of a state legislated bad check charge listed in the following box.  NorthStar keeps the remaining 75% of the bad check fee to make its service free.

If a nsf check cannot be collected within the 60 day process, or if you have a closed account or stop payment check, NorthStar offers a FREE secondary collection service to any educational institution.  It will engage in additional collection efforts for six, twelve, or eighteen months (this selection is made when signing up).  Any checks that go through this secondary process are returned to school corporations as a 50/50 split (you receive 50% of the state fee plus 50% of the check's face value).  If your state fee is $20.00 and you had a closed account check for $10, you would receive $15.00 back at no charge to you because of the state bad check fee.

If your school corporation, PTA, or school club needs a bad check collection service, you may sign up through  www.bumchecks.com or make contact with me to further discuss NorthStar's services.  You may reach me (Brad Price) at 574-875-9994.  I am one of NorthStar's national check recovery representatives and www.bumchecks.com is my personal web site to help schools and businesses with free bad check recovery.

Sincerely,
