A cheque bounce dispute may involve both recovery of money and criminal complaint strategy, depending on the facts and statutory requirements. The first review should check the cheque, bank return memo, demand notice, delivery proof, transaction record and limitation.
Documents to preserve
- Original cheque and scanned copy
- Bank return memo
- Demand notice and postal or courier proof
- Agreement, invoice or loan record
- Reply notice, settlement messages and payment proof
Civil and criminal routes
A cheque-bounce complaint may address penal consequences where statutory requirements are met, while a civil or commercial recovery route may be needed for recovery strategy. Settlement may also be practical where liability is documented and payment terms can be secured.
Defence and claimant assessment
The record should be reviewed for legally enforceable debt, notice service, limitation, account details, signature issues, security cheque arguments and prior payments.
