About ACCS
American Corrective Counseling Services, Inc. (www.accs-inc.com) is the dominant provider of outsourced bad check diversion programs in the United States. ACCS acts as the exclusive agent on behalf of its contracted District Attorney and county government clients to recover restitution for merchant victims of bad checks within their jurisdictions, remit outstanding balances owed to merchant participants and provide educational diversion and rehabilitation seminars to bad check writers, administered by professional counselors in a classroom setting. Because the Company derives its revenue from tuition and fees related to participation in its diversion programs, which are paid solely by offenders, the Company is able to offer its outsourced programs to District Attorneys and its bad check recovery services to merchant participants at no cost to either.
