Re: cheque dishonored

As there is no proof of payment I am of the opinion that you interact with the persona and meet a point of compromise.

Re: cheque dishonored

Since you have no proof of payment, legally you are liable to pay him as your check has been dishonored. Try to explain in the court that you had already paid him in cash and he deposited the same amount in his bank. This may help you in pressuring this person.

Otherwise, the only way, at present, is to talk to this person and reach some sort of compromise with him.
