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.

    One of the reasons for the failure of feminism to dislodge deeply held perceptions of male and female behaviour was its insistence that women were victims, and men powerful patriarchs, which made a travesty of ordinary people’s experience of the mutual interdependence of men and women.
    Rosalind Coward (b. 1953)

    From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality. That is why you write and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all the reasons that no one knows?
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    A good cause can become bad if we fight for it with means that are indiscriminatingly murderous. A bad cause can become good if enough people fight for it in a spirit of comradeship and self-sacrifice. In the end it is how you fight, as much as why you fight, that makes your cause good or bad.
    Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)

    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.
    René Daumal (1908–1944)
