What if the Checkwriter pays me for a bad check?

The Fair Credit Billing Act requires that you IMMEDIATELY notify us if you should accept payment. Please refer to your contract on additional requirements.

Can CheckMate recovery 2 party checks?

Yes. A 2 party check is one that is written to an individual from another individual or business.  Like a payroll checks. While 2 party checks can NOT be handled via ACH, our collectors work to recover your monies from all individuals involved.
