Received a bounced cheque, or a legal notice for one? We connect you with an independent, experienced advocate for counselling on your cheque bounce matter under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act — whether you are the payee/complainant or the drawer/accused.
Our role is to understand your matter, organise your documents and connect you with a lawyer. All legal advice, notices and court representation are provided directly by the independent advocate.

Clear and readable copies help the lawyer advise you properly. Exact requirements depend on whether you are the payee or the drawer and on the present stage of the matter.
Includes: online intake of your cheque bounce matter, document checklist and completeness review, case summary and reference number, coordination support, and connecting you with an independent advocate for counselling.
Not included: the advocate's professional fee for drafting or sending a legal notice, filing a complaint, court appearance or ongoing representation; court fee, process fee, courier, notarisation, stamp duty, travel, certified copies, investigation or any third-party expense. Any such amount will be quoted separately and charged only after you accept it.
Cheque Bounce Counsel is a platform that connects users with independent advocates. It is not a law firm and does not itself give legal advice. Payment does not guarantee that a legal notice will result in payment, that a complaint will be admitted, or that any defence, settlement or recovery will succeed. Limitation periods and statutory dates must be confirmed with the advocate on the exact facts of your case.
