telecheck ripoff slick looking operation con artists nationwide
telecheck ripoff. as a small businessman getting many bad checks, i was talked into paying $2000 up front to these jerks. they guarenteed all bad checks would be paid if i only called them in to check.
what a fool i was. after a month or two, all we got after sending in $1500 in bad checks was an answereing service and stalling techniques. this slick looking operation is currently back in san diego advertising for sales people .
lookout telecheck a**holes, you are in my sights and doom is your reward.
our total loss actually added up to $5000, and another business owner i know lost $60000 thw same way to these con artists.

I am very familiar with Telecheck having operated several restaurantw which contracted their collection services. Clearly, as is stated in their contract with their merchants, the merchant must provide specific information on the check for the check to be guaranteed. State laws may vary, but, as in Minnesota, a check is "prima facie" evidence of the writers intent ONLY if it posseses their name, address, telephone number AND state or federal identification written on the face of the check. Telecheck uses these guidelines for their guarantee. Where any one of these bits of info is missing, they will pay the merchant only if they are successful at collecting the debt. As a business owner, you need to make certain that those handling your cash register get each check marked up appropriately AND you cross reference each check to the "DO NOT ACCEPT" letter Telecheck sends out to their member merchants weekly. Do your due diligence and protect the assets of your company. Telecheck isn't responsible for your cash handler's failure to follow their guarantee guidelines.
