The Muscogee County School District has a contract with Automated Recovery Solutions to collect checks that are returned unpaid. 

Automatic Recovery Solutions will electronically monitor a bad check writer’s account and is authorized to make two electronic attempts for the face amount of the check plus a state authorized returned fee for $30.00.

If a check is returned marked Account Closed, Fraudulent, or Stop Payment, or the NSF Item is unable to be electronically recovered due to a zero balance, a letter will be sent stating that the check writer must pay the full face amount plus the above authorized state fee within 15 business days. If the fee is not paid, the bad check writer can be referred to a state attorney’s office where he/she will be charged the face amount of the original check, plus three times the face amount in fees and costs, as allowed by the state of Georgia.
