Bloody client - been two months late with paying an invoice which I have been chasing her about (apparently she’s changing bank accounts, etc). Cheque arrives today. She’s only gone and post dated it to Monday.  My bank isn’t a short distance away - it’s a long walk or a bus ride. Either way, tomorrow’s usual walk into town won’t include a cheque paying in session - but I’ll have to make a special journey during the week. The thing is, my invoices carry electronic payment instructions - so it’s not she couldn’t have paid that way. Most clients do now.

She may have been making allowance for additional funds arriving. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

That's her problem not Paul's and a pointless act apparently There's no excuse for trying to load your inability to cover your debts onto someone else by writing a post-dated cheque. In fact, writing a cheque you know you don't have the funds to cover could technically be construed as fraud. IMO Paul (admitting I don't know how lucrative this work is) I'd think twice before getting involved with said client in the future. I assume you're thinking that way anyway.

Yes but if it bounced because funds were not cleared in time then he gets a bank charge to pay. The numbers of people who are in serious financial trouble is large and increasing all the time. Agreed, you may not get paid next time. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

It lacks a mens rea if all they intended to do was delay the money going out and didn't think there was anything unusual in that behaviour.

I have done that loads of times. Dropped a cheque off after the banks shut on a Friday. Nothing illegal, just working the system to the limit.

Is the forum clock screwed up? I've reading posts dated yesterday evening and this morning, that I read before I went to work yesterday!
