Re: Check bounce

I had answered this question yesterday only. You have now added the last three sentences in your previous statement.

I do not see any point about the 'harrassing and blackmailing' issues. And there is no hassle in your going abroad if you report the matter to police.

Any way, you may reply to the notice denying your liability; and may sent a complaint to the police by post about miseuse of the stolen cheques.

You have a strong case against the payees because you had already reported loss of cheques to the police. The chain will be completed if you now inform the police who used the cheques.
