About cheque clearence

Ranee....... (Querist) 05 May 2012 This query is : Resolved
Reaspected Sirs,
I am persuing a 1 Year diploma course in Interior designing from an institute which head office is in kolkota, I am doing from Its Guwahati branch.They cheated students with many false statement while counselling and after admission (feesRs10500) they denied many of them.Even they did not provide us study material until December.(Class from July 8th'11).When we pressurized them then they provide study materials.Beside this Admission fees we have to pay three installments of 15000/ which all i have paid by cheque.
But the 2nd installment which i paid by cheque was bounced unwillingly due to insufficient balance.When they told me that it is bounced I wanted them to return the cheq back but they did not return.So I blocked the same in my branch and gave them new cheq which was immediately cleared.It happened in Feb'12.Now they, from kolkota office insisting that my this (2nd)cheq is also bounced and they are not telling me about bank statement neither returning me the same and insisting me to pay cash again.
In 11th April I paid 3rd installment which is neither bounced not they have told me anything.but this cheq from SBI is not cleared yet.I think they are intentionally harrassing me as i pressurised them for text books, to commence class soon..etc...
Now what to do?My exam is last weeek of this month.please advice how to tackle this situation without hampering my diploma.

if you have made full payment you need not worry . enclose proof that cheque has been honoured . forward copy of your bank staement with covering letter . if any payment is due pay by demand draft not cash

Are they just telling you or writing as well.

but i have already made all payments which institute authority is denying neither they are returning my cheque..

!.Send a letter to institute by Regd.Ad post
and ask them if any payment is to be made by you to it and pay it at once so that you can sit in exam.

2.Keep enough balance in ur A/C in bank so that the cheque which you sent to institute for 3rd installment gets cleared when they present it in bank and maximum time is 3 months for presenting it in bank.
