Legal Question in Business Law in Michigan
A customer gives my company a personal check for a deposit, or even a down payment for their lease or purchase of a product. If the check came back for "non-sufficient funds", and the customer didn't repay us in a timely manner, or not respond back to us at all yet, can a company representative fax, post or publish that customers 'personal check' for everyone to see in order to try and get their attention, and / or embarrass them too? Is it illegal?

It is certainly ill advised and unnecessary, given your other potential remedies. Presumably, and based on your message, you still hold out hope for payment. With proper notice and a lawsuit you can proceed with a much more effective remedy in court, unless the unpaid amount is just too small to warrant such action.
