The Georgetown
County Board of Education has entered into an agreement with Nexcheck for the collection of all returned checks issued to all Georgetown County
locations. The Board requires that you make sure the following information
is on all checks written:
If your check is returned by your bank, it will be automatically forwarded
by the
Georgetown County Board of Education’s bank directly to Nexcheck
after the first presentation. Nexcheck will contact you in order
to collect the face amount of the returned check plus the
state allowed collection fee. The amount of the collection fee
is currently $30 in our state; however this fee is subject
to change as allowed by law. If
you do not properly respond to Nexcheck or Nexcheck is
unable to contact you, Nexcheck may re-present your check
to the bank electronically along with applicable collection
fees.
