We received late notice of a NSF check for an item we have already mailed.
This may be premature (need to give the person a chance to contact us), but I am wondering if there is any companies out there that do collections for bad checks (for online auctions)?
Has anyone had experience with this? Any recommendations?

Try conntacting the person via email, or by phone. I have sold over 1000 items via ebay and ads in the rags. I have had a total of 3 bad checks, allways been paid for them. Ed

My experience with companies that do this is that they are only looking for big ticket collections and they usually want a contract. So unless you are talking consistant big dollars they don't want to know from nothing.
The merchants in our town were told by the state police that unless it is major fraud they do not investigate bad checks even if they are repeat offenders because the judges won't waste their time hearing these cases!

Thank you...
I have noticed that several retailers in our area use a company called Checkwrite. They take it on no matter what the size of the check, but I know very little about them.

Here is a place that was recomended to me http://www.madagency.com I was lucky and the customer paid up on the bad check.
I hope you are as lucky.
