What a bar steward
Name and shame perhaps if hes a user on here?
Also if you have his name etc on the cheque could you not go to a branch of the bank who he has his account with and see if they can suggest anything? At the end of the day it is a sort of theft.

This is correct, you wait 3 days for a cheque to clear but it leaves there account immediately plus if anything every time it bounces he gets a big fat bank charge, i know its not your money back but still a good kick in the....

Keep presenting the cheque, as often as you can - he'll get charged £25 odd pounds a go.
Small claims will take some time..
Is it a landline tel'no? If so there are easy ways of getting the address. Then you can pay him a visit.

When the cheque came back to you did it have a 'reason code'? Not sure if they do that with personal accounts but when I've had business cheques bounce they tell you why - well vaguely anyway.

If it's bounced, then yes, keep trying to pay in. They'll keep getting charged. If it's been cancelled then you can be pretty sure they meant to scam you all along. And the banks, in my experience, will be no help whatsoever.

Sorry. Hope you get your cash.

what is up with some people?! its disgusting how they can just take someone elses money! sorry for all you that have lost out big time. its totally not fair!

recently, theres been lots of 'eggs' on classifieds trying to sell items of £100+. what a joke! but then, some people will just send the money through paypal not thinking that i could be a scam!

decent sellers/buyers on here should be given some kind of symbol next to their name so we can tell who are not the scammers.
