Michigan Dishonored Checks are checks that have been returned from the bank unpaid due to insufficient funds, a closed account, a post-dated check, or a stop payment order. The Michigan Dishonored Check Program is administered by the Michigan Department of Treasury and is responsible for the collection of all unpaid dishonored checks issued in the state of Michigan. There are three types of Michigan Dishonored Checks: bad checks, stale-dated checks, and counterfeit checks. Bad checks are checks that are not honored by the bank due to insufficient funds or a closed account. Stale-dated checks are checks that are presented for payment after the date on the check has expired. Counterfeit checks are checks that are forged or altered in some way. The Michigan Department of Treasury is responsible for the collection of all unpaid dishonored checks issued in the state of Michigan and will take legal action if necessary.
