Situation
I issued a check, thinking that I had
sufficient funds. The person I issued the
check to did not inform me that the
check bounced.
If a case is filed against me, will it
prosper?
Notice of Dishonor
The complainant will sent you a notice of
dishonor to prove that you were aware that you
had insufficient funds and that the bank
dishonored your check.
This notice creates the presumption that you
knew about the insufficiency.
