Unfortunately, you're not a victim of Certegy, but rather the failure to have been educated on the check acceptance procedures of wherever you wrote the check. 10-15 years ago, it seemed, that just about every cash register in the United States that certifies their customer's checks thru electronic means had a good sized sticker or mat at their register, specifically highlighting the check acceptance procedures. Nine times out of ten, these procedures include the stipulation of allowing an ACH on all returned checks.

Unfortunately now, most companies post these at their customer service area, but to my knowledge, that's all that the law requires of them. The information is there, but it's the consumer's job to read them. By signing that check, you're ageeing to the company's terms of service and acceptance - which usually includes the ACH. Crappy on the company's behalf, but thats how it goes. Certegy is just the third party agency hired for collection after the company itself has decided it doesn't want to directly deal with collections. Generally, Certegy does not waive fees, nor do collection agents have direct contact with the customer company.

Hope that's of some use..
