What can I do if my creditor used my blank cheque to put an amount more than my unpaid balance?

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

This is from Fawzia Mohd Lawyers and Legal Consultancy. Thank you for reaching out.

If a blank cheque has been misused or an inflated amount has been added without agreement, this may be considered cheque abuse, and you could have legal remedies.

You may be able to challenge the amount and file a complaint or defense depending on the situation.

For detailed legal advice on how to protect yourself and proceed, please contact us by phone or email to book a consultation. We offer 15 minutes free for our clients, as they are our priority.

You are obligated to pay the actual amount you owe them, even if they file a case against you for a huge amount.

They are misusing a blank cheque you provided for a specific purpose (EMI payments) by filling in an unauthorized and inflated amount.

Try to negotiate with them for a settlement for the actual amount. If they are not willing to cooperate and are still pursuing legal action, we can defend them in court.

We will let you know the procedures to be undertaken in detail. Kindly share your WhatsApp number to discuss further.

Dear Inquirer,

Thank you for your message.

Using a blank cheque to claim an inflated amount can be considered misuse of the cheque and may be challenged legally.

If the cheque was filled with an amount not agreed upon, you may have grounds to file a criminal complaint or a civil case, depending on the circumstances.

Immediate legal action can help prevent further misuse and protect your rights.

We recommend that you book a legal consultation with Future Vision for Advocacy and Legal Consultancy or authorize our office to represent you in this matter.

Under UAE law, the company is not allowed to fill the cheque with an amount exceeding your actual outstanding balance.

You can challenge this in court and request to cancel the excess amount on the cheque.

We are honored to provide you with specialized legal support for your case.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry.

You may have a valid defense and counterclaim if the cheque was clearly misused and the amount entered does not reflect your actual liability.

UAE law allows you to challenge such misuse, especially if supported by written proof.

Please let us know if you would like legal representation or assistance in filing a complaint or defending the case.

Best regards,

Mohammed Salah
