In the briefing book CBS News was circulating prior to the election there was a copy of a list of congress people with check problems. The distribution is highly positively skewed. I think it maxed out around 960 checks, but a large number of people had zero or only a small number of bounced checks. A good proportion of people with serious check problems (say, > 100 checks) chose not to seek re-election, or lost in the primaries.
