How many cheques will the bank let you bounce ?

Need_to_know_4

I ask as someone who has had several cheques, which have bounced, from a 'friend' I loaned money to...
I am not alone.
This person has been dishing out 'bouncing' cheques all over the place.

If these cheques are going back to the bank, why doesn't the bank put a stop to it.

I really do need advice on this. I'm out of my depth.

Thank you for reading.

Why have you posted this on two boards?

You are asking a pretty stupid question.

A cheque will only be honoured or dishonoured AFTER it has been written so the person concerned can carry on writing cheques until their book runs out.

If i was cynical I may think your the 'friend' and your wondering how much all these rubber cheques will cost you

If one cheque has bounced why would you accept another as payment?

In the hopes that one day I will get my money back

Sorry it was a stupid question to some of you.

It's not to me and my family :(

*Do the banks never ever ask WHY the cheques are still being written ?
another silly question I suppose but one I truly do not know the answer to.

Thank you to those who thought about helping me.

Well, you - I mean, your friend - will not get your money back by trying to cash invalid cheques. I suggest a more direct approach to the person concerned, with a view to taking cash.

That's probabably the question I should have asked.

You try asking someone you are very close to that question.
I am afraid to 'fall out' with this person cos I may get nothing back.

They know this

Unfortunately I can't, I really do need to get that money back.

Thank you for answering me.
