The accused person always take these type of excuses. Dont worry.

But you must registered a FIR to start a criminal proceedings. Dishonor of slip must be obtain within06 month after the cheque is issued. and when a slip is attached then within 02 year a FIR can be registered against the accused. if u dont want to go to police u can also file a recovery suit on behalf of cheque in session court
