Simple English definitions for legal terms

bad check

Read a random definition: taxpayer identification number (TIN)

A quick definition of bad check:

A bad check is a type of check that cannot be cashed because there is not enough money in the account or the account does not exist. It is also called a hot check, worthless check, rubber check, bounced check, cold check, bogus check, false check, or dry check. A canceled check is a check that has been paid by the bank, while a cashier's check is a check drawn by a bank on itself and payable to another person. A certified check is a depositor's check that guarantees the availability of funds for the check. A postdated check is a check that is payable on or after the stated date, while a stale check is a check that has been outstanding for an unreasonable time.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A check that is not honored because the account either contains insufficient funds or does not exist.

Examples:

  • John wrote a check for $500, but there was only $100 in his account. The check bounced, and the store charged him a fee for the bad check.
  • Susan tried to pay her rent with a check, but her account had been closed. Her landlord received a bad check notice from the bank.

Explanation: A bad check is a check that cannot be cashed because there is not enough money in the account or the account does not exist. This can happen accidentally if the person writing the check is not aware of their account balance or intentionally if they are trying to commit fraud. In either case, the person or business receiving the bad check may be charged a fee by their bank or may take legal action against the person who wrote the check.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
