Managing Checks at Parties: Accepting and Handling Returned Checks

[keynibear]

Do you accpet checks from customers at parties, or do you have them write the check to your host and get one check from your host?

I try to have the customers write the check to the host, and then she gives me one check.

How do you handle returned checks from customers, if you accept individual checks?

At or before the show- they can write it out to me. After the show, they make it out to the host, so there aren't a lot of checks sent to me. It's been years and years since I've had a returned check. I think it's because the fees are so steep.

If I do accept individual checks and one is returned, I would contact the customer and inform them of the returned check. I would then ask for payment in an alternative form, such as cash or a different check. If the issue cannot be resolved, I may have to take legal action or involve a collections agency.
