Non-sufficient Funds - Reasons For Bad Cheques

Reasons For Bad Cheques

The reasons for receipt of bad cheques mostly has to do with the party issuing the cheque not having enough funds available in the withdrawal or checking-account. But apart from this reason there are many other more minor reasons that cheques may not be honored. They include:

  1. Account holder canceling the cheque i.e. deliberately dishonoring the payment.
  2. Account is closed. In such a case a fraudulent action might have been taken.
  3. No Authority to debit. The party owning said account might be under curatorship.
  4. Account under investigation. Issuing-party may have been involved in previous fraudulent action.
  5. Account holder deceased. Party issuing cheque might have passed-on before cheque is honored.
  6. Account frozen. Or effects frozen. Usually happens in divorce when estate is evaluated.
  7. Authorization cancelled. The issuing-bank took action.
  8. No such account. Party issuing cheque gave a false instrument or committed a fraudulent act.

Famous quotes containing the words reasons for, reasons, bad and/or cheques:

    Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)

    Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.
    Terri Apter (20th century)

    I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn’t poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me deprived was a bad image, I was underprivileged. Then they told me underprivileged was overused, I was disadvantaged. I still don’t have a dime. But I sure have a great vocabulary.
    Jules Feiffer (b. 1929)

    A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.
    Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
