I never accept cheques for this reason .... I only accept cash or EMT on Fridays for the following two weeks. I'm afraid this family would be on their way out the door n my business. I would make them pay in cash or EMT from now on plus they would have to pay the bank fees that I was charged as well as a $50 late payment charge. As for the contact numbers well that's just a no brainer .... I don't get some parents
