1. A system for processing documents with data, comprising:
- a controller adapted to receive electronic data retrieved or read from one or more documents, said data comprising one or more numbers, each said number comprising one or more individual characters;
further wherein the controller is adapted to perform correction of said electronic data by comparing a number in said data that contains one or more failed characters that were not or could not be read or retrieved, or that were improperly or incorrectly read or retrieved, with a plurality of numbers comprising permissible numbers known for such data, wherein said plurality of permissible numbers are from a list of all valid numbers currently in use for that data and are not determined from any historical transaction data and also are not determined from the data retrieved or read from the document being processed, and automatically and electronically replacing said failed characters with corresponding valid characters from one of said permissible numbers.

6. A method for processing documents with data, comprising the steps of:
- receiving data about one or more documents in electronic format;
examining the data to determine if any errors exist in the data; and
attempting to correct any errors that have been identified in the data by comparing a number in the received data for the document being processed that contains one or more failed characters that were not or could not be read or retrieved by, or that were improperly or incorrectly read or retrieved by, a document processor, with a plurality of numbers comprising permissible numbers known for such data, wherein said plurality of permissible numbers are from a list of all valid numbers currently in use for that data and are independent of and not derived from any historical transaction data and also are not derived from data retrieved or read from the document being processed, and automatically and electronically replacing said failed characters with corresponding valid characters from one of said permissible numbers.

7. A computer-implemented method for processing transmitted data, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving in a computer memory electronic data associated with one or more documents; examining the data associated with a first document to determine if any errors exist in the data; attempting to correct any errors that have been identified in the data by comparing a number in the data that contains one or more failed characters that are incorrect with a plurality of permissible numbers each including valid characters operable to replace the failed characters, wherein said plurality of permissible numbers are from a list of valid numbers currently in use for that data and are not determined from any historical transaction data and also are not determined from data retrieved or read from the data being processed, and automatically and electronically replacing in a computer memory said failed characters with corresponding valid characters from one of said permissible numbers; and
repeating the examining and attempting to correct steps until all data associated with one or more documents have been processed.
