Dear Questioner,

Thank you so much for contacting online.

After going through the details, you have entered into a contract with someone and lent money to him and he issued a cheque to you, and now he is not ready to repay you.

First of all, you have to present the cheque for collection. If it bounced, you can move a criminal case against him initially.

And even if he got rid of that case by paying a fine, his liability will not be over. You can file civil case also against him for recovery of the above amount.

If he has got two other companies which work well, it is easy to take steps against him for recovery.

So please go ahead with presenting the cheque, and if it is not cleared through, you can go for the options above.

Please feel free to contact me on 0556635526 or on ar@alnassaradvocates.com if you need any further explanation.
