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.

    Could truth perhaps be a woman who has reasons for not permitting her reasons to be seen? Could her name perhaps be—to speak Greek—Baubo?... Oh, those Greeks! They understood how to live: to do that it is necessary to stop bravely at the surface, the fold, the skin, to adore the appearance, to believe in forms, in tones, in words, in the whole Olympus of appearance! Those Greeks were superficial—out of profundity!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Scepticism is an ability, or mental attitude, which opposes appearances to judgments in any way whatsoever, with the result that, owing to the equipollence of the objects and reasons thus opposed we are brought firstly to a state of mental suspense and next to a state of “unperturbedness” or quietude.
    Sextus Empiricus (2nd or 3rd cen., A.d.)

    A work of art is one through which the consciousness of the artist is able to give its emotions to anyone who is prepared to receive them. There is no such thing as bad art.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Common experience is the gold reserve which confers an exchange value on the currency which words are; without this reserve of shared experiences, all our pronouncements are cheques drawn on insufficient funds.
