Frequently asked questions — bounced cheque lawyer in Phuket

Not always. It must meet the elements of the cheque-offence law — for example, a cheque issued to pay a real, enforceable debt. We check the facts first to decide whether a criminal case is viable or a civil claim is the better route.
Cheque cases have relatively short and important deadlines; waiting too long can forfeit the right to a criminal action. We recommend bringing the cheque and dishonour slip in promptly so we can protect your rights.
We trace assets and enforce against what we find — seizing property or garnishing accounts/wages — alongside criminal-case pressure to improve the odds of getting paid.
