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:

    The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    The reasons you allege do more conduce
    To the hot passion of distempered blood
    Than to make up a free determination
    ‘Twixt right and wrong; for pleasure and revenge
    Have ears more deaf than adders to the voice
    Of any true decision.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Men are always thinking that they are going to do something grandly wicked to their enemies; but when it comes to the point, really bad men are just as rare as really good ones.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    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)
