    Checkredi

    Your check is welcome at Volusia County Schools.  The District recognizes that occasionally a parent may inadvertently overdraw a checking account and a check may be returned by the bank.  In order to recover these funds in a private and professional manner, Volusia County Schools has contracted with CHECKredi, a company specializing in the collection of returned checks.  

    Each check written to a school or the District must have the maker’s name, address, and one phone number.  When a person writes a check to a school or the District, the person writing the check agrees that, if the check is returned, it may be re-presented electronically on the same account for the full face amount and a fee established by Florida law. 

    CHECKredi will contact you by mail and by telephone in order to make arrangements to pay before attempting to re-present the check electronically.  Payments of the check and fee may also be made online at www.checkredi.com  using a credit card, debit card or electronic check without any additional fees.  For a convenience fee, payments may be made over the telephone at (877) 524-7334​ by credit card, debit card, or electronic check.  Payments cannot be made at a school or the District.
