Who’s watching your bounced checks?

According to Bankrate.com, the answer is ChexSystems, a company which holds your bounced check information for five years, providing data to other banks and lenders who asses whether you’re potentially a ”valued customer or a liability.”  Eighty percent of financial institutions use this service.

Of course, avoiding bounced checks is the number one reason consumers take out payday loans.
