Reply to Cheque Bounce Notice

A considered reply to a Section 138 notice, sent before the 15 days run out.

About this service

Received a cheque bounce notice? What you say in reply can be used in the case that may follow. An advocate reviews the facts — security cheque, part payment, a disputed debt — and drafts a reply that protects your defence.

What you get

  • Review of the notice and your side of the facts
  • Reply drafted by an advocate
  • Dispatch by registered post / speed post
  • Advice on settlement and on the case that may follow

How it works

  1. 1

    Share the notice

    We note the date it reached you — the clock runs from there.

  2. 2

    Call with a lawyer

    Walk the advocate through what happened.

  3. 3

    Reply drafted

    You approve the draft before it goes out.

  4. 4

    Dispatched

    Sent with proof of dispatch shared with you.

Documents you will need

  • The notice you received
  • Copy of the cheque, if you have it
  • Any agreement, receipts or messages about the payment

Scans or clear photographs are fine. The lawyer handling your matter will tell you if anything else is needed once they have seen your papers.
