We ask that you use the enclosed envelope to make your payment., and we ask that you make your payment using a certified check, money order or cashier's check. (If the overdraft occurred because of a bank error, please simply send a replacement check.)
If you're unable to make a full payment or if you have questions about the returned check, please call immediately. We will work with you, if need be, to find a solution that allows you to keep your good credit standing with us.
