Insufficient Funds Check
Comment: A returned check marked “insufficient funds” is nearly always as embarrassing to most customers. Frequently a customer tries to pay too many bills at one time. If the customer is notified in advanced and given a “face saving” out for the predicament, good will toward your company will be retained.
