[PrintOwners] Black Listing Customers

[Tommy Melendez]

I'll tell you the truth.? I'm more furious with the fact that I wasn't able to do it in-house.? This was outsource for $260 +?$35?overnight.? I did my part to please the customer & they knew their check wasn't going to clear.? A simple well don't deposit til so & so day would of helped.? I would of held onto the banner til she so &?so paid in cash.? Give me the option to say no.? Once anyone tells me not to deposit til so & so day that's a warning sign.? In 5 years this is only the?third check that bounced.? And the second that was because of a rush job!? I learned way back in the late 80's from Kenny The Printer....We are not banks

Tommy,

I would rather a customer pay me with a bad check then not at all. New York
makes it a crime to bounce a check. I have already almost had someone
arrested for bouncing a check.

First I went to bank to file a protest. Then I went to sheriffs office and
had them issue a warrant for his arrest. They went to his house with the
warrant and told him that if he did not pay by the next day they would be
back to arrest him. He came in next morning with cash for the check, all
bank fees and he also paid for my time on the matter.

In New York check bouncers are liable for up to twice face amount of check.
