Credit card payment made be Cheque issued by third party on my behalf bounced
2 years ago
A third party issued cheques on my credit card bounced due to stop payment by the drawer. I was completely unaware about his fund position, or would not have made the payments. Why should I cheat the bank for my own payments? Now the credit card company says that they are initiating a Legal notice under section 138. The cheque payment was not made from my account, nor was I aware whether he is going to stop payments. Will I be held under the law for this?

A.Hi,
You can first review your bank transactions and suspicious transactions by getting in touch with your bank manager. You should also lodge a police complaint u/S 378 and 425 IPC for the offences of identity theft and mischief respectively.

A.You are to be prosecuted under vicarious liability. Bank will issue legal notice under negotiable instruments Act before initiating proceeding under 138 NI Act. In response to legal notice you shall have opportunities to pay the demanding amount as demanded in legal notice. Some lawyers make claim of their so called fee in legal notice but you have no liability towards lawyer of bank.
