Handling Bounced/Cancelled Checks: Do You Charge Host/Guest?

In summary, Pampered Chef charges a $35 fee for any returned checks, along with any additional fees charged by their bank. The responsibility for these fees lies with the host or guest who wrote the check. In certain circumstances, the fee may be waived, but this is evaluated case-by-case. If a check bounces or is cancelled, the customer will be contacted via email or phone and provided with information on how to resolve the issue. Failure to pay the fees may result in collection efforts and potential legal action. It is important to address bounced or cancelled checks promptly to avoid further consequences.

I am curious to know what you all do when a host/guest bounced or cancelled check. Do you charge the host/guest all the charges you incur from the bounced or cancelled check?

Thanks.
 
Most definately! It's not my fault they bounce a check!

That being said, I have only had it happen about 3 times. Two times they paid all the fees and made good on the check right away. (were embarrased that it happened) and the other time I never heard from the lady. So...I ate the charges and wrote them off at tax time.

Thanks Kelly!!!

This is my first one. Left a little distaste in my mouth because she waited for me to contact her and state that she cancelled the check.
 
Why did she CANCEL the check? That's a bit odd!

She claimed that she lost her checkbook. But who knows with that woman. And she is the mother in law with one of my coworkers.
 
That is very curious, indeed. She may have lost her checkbook...but she didn't lose that check!
 
Yes, I always pass on the fee.
