"District Attorney Bad Check Restitution" programs are operated by district attorneys, and by private companies. The following is about programs operated by private companies. Typically, the private company is a debt collector attempting to collect a dishonored check. The company pays the local prosecutor a small fee for permission to send collection letters on the prosecutor's letterhead. The letters contain statements that the check writer has committed a crime, and can be prosecuted unless he or she enrolls in a "criminal diversion" program. The fees for this program usually total more than $200. These programs have been criticized because most people who write checks that did not clear did not commit a crime and will not be prosecuted. The fees that these companies charge are far beyond what is permitted by law. Essentially, these are debt collectors using false threats of prosecution to scare people into paying fees that they do not owe.
