What can you do if you receive an SMS about the execution of a bounced cheque?
Hello!
My brother received an SMS about the execution of a bounced cheque and it says he must settle an amount, otherwise, the execution court will take legal action against him.
Can my brother appeal or argue for this? What's next?
Dear J.,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Regarding the above, we would like to inform you that, your brother's situation with the bounced cheque is serious, but there are steps he can take:
Review the SMS: Ensure the SMS includes details about the amount owed, the cheque in question, and any deadlines. This information is important for legal advice.
Check for a Court Order: If there has already been a court ruling regarding the bounced cheque, your brother may need to review that order to understand his rights and any potential appeals.
Negotiate with the Bank: If possible, he should contact the bank to discuss the situation and explore options for repayment or settlement. Sometimes banks are willing to negotiate repayment plans.
Prepare for Court: If legal action is initiated, your brother may have the opportunity to present his case in court. Having a lawyer will be vital for this process.
Possible Appeal: If there is a court ruling against him, he may be able to appeal that decision, but this typically must be done within a specific timeframe.

Yes, he can apply to the court if he is questioning the execution.

Hello,
It appears that your brother has issued cheques that have bounced, which is why the execution case has been opened against him.
He does have the right to appeal or contest this by filing a "substantive dispute" in the court.
In this filing, he can present any evidence to prove that the cheque was, for example, a security cheque, that he has already paid part of the amount or any other valid reason supported by the case documents.
In the worst-case scenario, if all other legal avenues are exhausted, your brother can request the execution judge to allow him to repay the owed amount in installments.
Feel free to reach out for further assistance.
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out regarding your brother's situation.
When an execution notice is issued for a bounced cheque, the court is usually firm in enforcing the settlement.
However, there may still be options to appeal or negotiate depending on the specific circumstances, such as proving a valid reason for non-payment or if there are discrepancies in the case.
The next steps typically involve either settling the amount, negotiating a payment plan, or appealing the decision if there are grounds for it.
I would need more information to provide specific advice and explore the best possible approach for your brother.
