When I ran a small business, I was given a dud cheque by someone I knew to be an NHS consultant. I simply 'phoned the switchboard of the local hospital and asked them for the fax number of his department.
A curtly worded fax to the effect that I did not appreciate being given a dishonoured cheque produced speedy and successful results. It satisfied my displeasure, in that I knew that everyone from the fax operator upwards in his department would know about this............

This 'visibility to all' feature of fax has long been used effectively by credit controllers. There's nothing quite like it for pressurizing the customer's Accounts Payable desk into paying your bill!
