Stop payment of cheque

(Querist) 04 June 2012 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Expert,

I have given a cheque to one landlord as initial advance for house deposit, on the same day I found the facility what he told were not actually present, hence I asked my banker to stop payment.

I have asked the banker to stop payment on the same day when I gave cheque to him, till date I have not taken possession nor signed any agreement.

That landlord is threatening of legal action, is it possible.

No, the landlord can not take any legal action as there was no agreement.

Issue letter to the bank stating the reason to make stop payment with cheque number. Post the same to the landlord.

Dear Expert Thank you very much

I do agree with al experts.
Confused Indian (Querist) 04 June 2012
I don't know the address of the house owner, even if I ask I seriously doubt that he will give the correct address,

Whether giving the intimation to bank alone is sufficient or it is mandatory to give the intimation to the landlord also, kindly advise...

Thanks..

necessary to give intimation to landlord .

Few questions:

1. Has the cheque already got bounced ?
2. Have you received the legal notice ?

If the cheque has already got bounced and he has given you the notice stating the true fact, then you do not have to worry, as the cheque was issued for no liability.

If he has taken some other stand in the notice, like loan etc, then you have to fight the case.


In any case write the letter as suggested above to safeguard yourself in future.


To all those who issue Cheques without agreement: Please avoid doing such thing.
Confused Indian (Querist) 05 June 2012
So far no legal notice is received so far.
he only threaten to take legal action.

Facts of the case:

Given cheque and asked the banker to stop payment on the same day.

Sufficient balance is always in the account

No agreement was signed nor I have taken the possession of the house.


Thanks
