Worthless Check Program

The Solicitor’s Worthless Check Program was established to assist Lexington County merchants and citizens in the collection and prosecution of worthless checks. Millions of dollars are lost every year by merchants as a result of worthless checks. These losses are invariably passed on to consumers through higher prices. Theft with a pen is more subtle than theft with a weapon, but it is still theft—and it is your loss. Now is the time to call a halt to worthless check fraud!
