Any licensee hereunder who receives a check, draft, negotiable order of withdrawal or like instrument drawn on a bank or other depository institution given by any person in full or partial repayment of a loan or other extension of credit may, if such instrument is not paid or is dishonored by such institution, charge and collect from the borrower or person to whom the credit was extended, a bad check charge in an amount not to exceed the sum of Fifteen Dollars ($ 15.00).
