Bitte Klage sofort zustellen, Gerichtskosten in Höhe von 879,00 € werden als Verrechnungsscheck bezahlt, für dessen Einlösung sich die Prozessbevollmächtigte der Klägerin gut sagt.
What does this actually mean? The court costs are paid by collection-only check, the payment of which is guaranteed by the plaintiff's attorney? Is guaranteed going too far?

: I agree with your comment about vouching, but I think "secure" is wrong.

'wrong' I believe is not the 'right' choice..."...payment of which will be secured by the plaintiff's attorney..", to use the Asker's own phraseology.

In any case, I think you've figured this out already.
Regarding Verrechnungsscheck, please see Victor's answer at https://www.proz.com/kudoz/german-to-english/marketing-marke...
I agree with him; I don't think you should use collection. See also:
