Hello,

I have received 3 signed blank cheques from a known person for money owed to me. We had a handshake deal, which was not honored.

How can I claim the amount using a blank cheque?

Dear questioner,

If the cheques are signed, you can present them for payment if you suspect the person will leave the UAE soon.

Otherwise, we can initiate the case after serving a legal notice properly.

If you need further clarification, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Dear Lawyers,

You can take the completed cheque to your bank and deposit it into your account. The bank will verify the cheque with the issuing bank, so keep track of the deposit status.

If there are any issues, contact your bank for clarification. If the cheque is dishonored, reach out to the issuer and demand payment.

We will guide you on how to pursue legal action.

Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss further.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your concern!

Regarding the blank cheques, even though a handshake deal is not formalized in writing, the signed blank cheques can still be used to claim the amount owed to you.

However, you must be cautious in how you handle this, as legal steps will need to be followed to avoid any issues related to misuse or disputes regarding the cheque's validity.

The most effective way forward is to fill in the amount owed, and you may then present the cheque for collection through the bank.

If it bounces due to insufficient funds or other reasons, you can initiate a legal case based on the dishonored cheque.

That being said, it’s important to have proper legal guidance to ensure that your actions are in full compliance with the law.

I recommend that we discuss your specific situation in detail to map out the best course of action and protect your rights.

Feel free to reach out to me on WhatsApp or call me at [---------]. You can also email me at [---------], and we can take it from there.

Best regards,

Suhail Rana

Greeting,

The check details must be filled with recent dates not exceeding 6 months and submitted to the bank on which it is drawn. Based on the bank's statement, an execution file or a penalty report will be opened.
