No, and if they tell you that it is, then they are violating the FDCPA- Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. They are not allowed to lie or scare you. It is against the law and you can actually sue them for violating the FDCPA. In fact, the laws are very strict under that. But of course, it's never good to bounce that check. It can eliminate their willingness to hold a payment plan or offer settlements to you, etc. No, and if they tell you that it is, then they are violating the FDCPA- Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
