Bounced Cheque

mrfamilyguy

Hi there, ill try to keep my story short.

Basically, a good friend did some work for an individual, job was done, invoice wrote out, customer came to collect and handed over a cheque.

He had done work for this guy before so didnt see a problem taking the cheque.

5 days later got it back from the bank etc, rang the guy-got the whole it must be a mistake, ill drop it up next week etc.

Fast forward 3 months still no sign so he rang only to be informed by the guy that the cash had been left in his porch a few days previous when nobody was there.

The customer claims to have dropped it in, my mate never got it so whats the next step.........

Cops, Solicitor, Small Claims Court Etc...

Got to add that its not a huge sum of money but at this stage its more about principal...

Thanks

Have a friend call him pretending to be a solicitor.

BullS&&t him into thinking your suing him/


or....

Go to Woodies and buy a nice big Lump hammer. use you imagination for the rest

TheCostumeShop.ie: Ronan

Solicitors letter, but never bull this kinda legal stuff. Other option would be to suggest a repayment plan if he's having financial difficulties, Kill with kindness.

wouldn't stand up legally because he got no receipt for the cash that he says he left.

Tell your friend to threaten the small claims court or as above poster said threaten court by pretending to be a solicitor and say ing that the items used during work will have to be reclaimed if payment not made
