This guide explains what to do if a check bounces by exploring steps to take when a check bounces and the legal and financial ramifications of bounced checks.
MONROE, N.Y., July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Laser Printer Checks has announced the release of its latest resource, "What Should You Do if a Check Bounces." This resource looks at what is a bounced check, what happens when a check bounces, and how to avoid writing bounced checks.
Bounced checks are checks that a bank refuses to deposit or cash, and the two most common reasons for bounced checks are insufficient funds and closed or non-existent accounts. Writing bad checks could lead to legal action in many states, and it could affect a person's credit score if a merchant flags the account as being delinquent. Many financial institutions also charge the account holder a fee if a check bounces.
"From paying taxes, rent, utilities, tuition and fees for higher education, medical bills, church offerings, and donations, checks are used by millions of people every day," according to Laser Printer Checks. To avoid writing bad checks, consumers should consider overdraft protection plans and low balance alerts that can be set up by the financial institution where the account is. Budgeting also plays an important role in avoiding bounced checks, and bank statements should be regularly reviewed to watch for any fraud or identity theft.
