How Much Does this service Cost?
The cost of recovery is paid by the check writer, from a state authorized
collection fee that is also electronically collected. It costs
you nothing! The customer will be made aware of your collection
process and specifically authorize electronic collection before paying
you with a paper check.
How can this be done?
NACHA approved new banking procedures that allow merchants to represent
NSF checks electronically on March 10, 1998. The rule became effective
on September 18, 1998.
What legal regulations and guidelines apply to
this service?
Our re-presented check entries, as all of our operations, are subject
to the applicable NACHA Operating Rules, Uniform Commercial Codes
(UCC) and Regulation CC. However, NSF Collect transactions are originated
by check and are therefore exempt from the provisions of the Electronic
Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E.

recovered?
Yes. Checks with a face value of $2,500 or less may be processed.
Is there a time limit on checks that can be re-presented?
Yes. Each entry has a time limit of 180 days from the date of the
check.
How many times can the merchant re-present an
item?
A total of three (3) presentments are allowed. The check entry can
be sent twice if there was only one previous physical presentment,
but only one time if there were two physical presentments.
