- The check was issued more than 60 days before the time they are turned over to law enforcement
- Post-dated checks or checks which the payee agreed to hold before depositing
- Checks that have been turned over to a collection agency, unless the collection agency refers the check to law enforcement within 14 days of receipt
- Checks on which full or partial payment has been accepted
- Two-party checks
- Check(s) turned over to law enforcement, from the payee (and others), that total less than $100 within a 60 day period
