check cashing services

[Tygran]

This question is prompted by all the problems with bodog and checks bouncing.

Does anyone know what happens if you take a check to a check cashing service, and it bounces on them?

They come find you (figuratively). A check cashing service is not a get away from bounced check free card. You need to provide ID to use a check cashing service, so it's not anonymous. And they not only want their money back, they charge NSF fees as well. And yes, they can turn you over to collection agents as well.

Yeah I figured as much but was having difficulty finding typical terms/conditions for using one.

I didn't really expect it to be a "get away from bounced check free" card...

I guess maybe a better question is why are they any better than a bank for cashing a poker/bodog check?
