How to get bounced cheque from bank?

Immediately reach out to the business, association, or person who had a go at encashing the cheque. Communicate as soon as possible if you know that your cheque has bounced or has a chance of bouncing, and cover the bounced amount as soon as possible to reduce any confusion that may have resulted from the bounced cheque. It's possible that the bounced cheque was an accident and that all you need to do is make up for the lack of funds. In such a circ*mstance, cover the sum rapidly.

In the event that you don't have the expected assets, talk with the beneficiary about the circ*mstance. Part-payment plans may be possible through negotiation and arrangement.
