How is an enforcement file opened on a check?

How does the process generally work?

1. Start by reviewing the check, parties, dates and any restrictions or annotations.
2. The information filed should match the instrument on which enforcement is based.
3. After opening, proper service and later decisions become central parts of the file.
4. Any collection step should be selected according to the current file status and decisions.

Documents worth preparing

• The check or a clear copy, with the original when required.
• Available creditor and debtor details.
• Agreements or messages concerning the debt or payment.
• Evidence of earlier payments if any.
