Illinois bad check: free collection service for Illinois businesses:

If your Illinois business accepts checks, you may have turned to your “State Attorney Office” to get it collected. This is certainly one option for businesses, and it is a free option.

There are other choices to collection Illinois NSF checks, Illinois stop payment checks, and Illinois closed account checks. Unlike using an Illinois State’s Attorney bad check restitution program, there are free bad check collection services available to businesses in Illinois and every other U.S. state. These services can actually be less time consuming than a State’s Attorney Office.

You may find a list of check recovery services at this link: http://www.bumchecks.com/returnedcheckrecoveryservices. If you choose to visit www.bumchecks.com you will also find some information about NorthStar Technologies. NorthStar is a leading provider of bad check collection because of something called the “state bad check” (you may know this as the “returned check fee”). NorthStar uses this fee to fund its check collection operation and thus make it completely free to small and large businesses in Illinois as well as all other U.S. states.

Unlike many check collection companies, NorthStar offers the full value back on collected NSF checks plus an additional 25% of the state bad check fee to offset any bank charges. Also, unlike many companies that only offer NSF check collection, NorthStar offers a no-fees contingency split for stop payment and closed account checks. Signing up your Illinois business for NorthStar’s bad check collection service is “free and easy” at www.bumchecks.com and you may even submitted your existing Illinois NSF checks, Illinois stop payment and Illinois closed account checks for free collection. Of course, if some of your checks were written outside of Illinois, these also qualify for FREE collection! NorthStar specializes in the collection of “hot checks”!
