Merchants Find No Answer to Bad Checks
University Daily Kansan
7
Bad checks seem to be a problem that most Lawrence merchants recognize as serious but have resolved to make the best of.
By BILL WILLETS
Kansan Staff Reporter
While the consensus is that bad checks will continue to be written, businesses generally view the problem as an occupancy requirement and continue their check-cashing policies.
Several businesses in Lawrence accept personal checks for cash. Those that continue this policy are Raney's drug stores, ($5 limit); Gibson Discount Center ($5 limit); grocery stores ($10 limit), the Kauaans ($2 limit) and most Lawrence taverns.
Kroger Store will cash checks for holders of a special ID card.
WARNER FERGUSON, associate director of the Kansas Union, estimated that the Union received between $200 and $300 in bad checks each week.
Ferguson said he thought that more people were cashing checks this year than ever before but that it was too early in the year to make a judgment about returned taxes.
Check cashing is considered to be a service to the student, he said, and will continue as long as the Union's 10-cent charge continued to pay operating expenses.
"The percentage of returned checks is very small here, when you consider the total checks cashed," he said, "but any amount of returned checks is a nuisance."
Ace Johnson, owner of the Stables and the sanctuary, 14th W. 7th St., estimated that he had a net income of $185,000.
JOHNSON SAID he lost money by cashings
checks but continued to do so because he
wanted it.
"I've cashed $300,000 worth of checks in the eight years I've been in business," he said. "Over $12,000 of those checks bounced." He collected all of that $12,000 but $200.
Johnson said the frequency of bad check writing was high because the law tended to favor the check writer rather than the merchant.
I consider that a good rate of recovery, and that's why I continue to cash checks."
“An unbelievable number of bad checks are written,” he said. “The amount of checks Rusty has returned is staggering, and he’s never been able to have so much trouble casing checks.”
The first step in prosecuting an individual for passing bad checks is made by the businesses who receive the checks, said Jeff Serrano, attorney for the Douglas County sheriff's office.
THE BUSINESSES, Miller said, must file a complaint with the county attorney's office. Most violators are charged with felony charges against them, the amount and number of bad checks.
Johnson said that writing a bad check for more than $50 was prosecuted as a felony under the 1972 Fair Debtors Act.
Ferguson said that the use of KU IDs with pictures had minimized the number of bad checks and forged checks received by the Union.
Johnson said he thought all bad checks should be prosecuted as felonies.
