How many of you business owners have to deal with bad checks? A few people on here know me. I repair Mercury engines in Olive Branch. I have been in this business for 36 years and 20 of those have been for myself. I have never had a returned check until now. I had done work for this customer before with no problems. The quote below from the customer (Duck South member) tells how I saved him money. I didn't have to do that. The power trim motor finally went out and I had to replace it for him. The check was returned for NSF. I called twice and he said he would make it good. He didn't. On the third call I told him it would be turned over to the bad check unit with the DA. Sent a letter after that with no response in over two weeks. This was a substantial amount of money, considered a felony in Ms. It is plain and simple STEALING! I may never see my money but this person also has to stand before the Lord one day.

Why am I not shocked at this
Why is my mouth so dry this morning, when I drank so much last night?

Re: Bad checks?
You will either get your money or the DA will make him pay for it. Sucks it was a substantial amount you may never see.
