Actually it be better if you make a trip down to CCID (Commercial Crime Investigation Dep) - let them deal with the buyer... one call from them, is better then your numerous calls.
sorry to hear this man, and sorry to say but that is totally Gullible...... i assume he sold the car himself to another individual ?
Whenever I sell my car every few years to change to a different car, the transaction is usually done via Cashier's Order ..... I only accept cashier order and transact usually at LTA at Sin Min during the actual transaction and I always give a cashier's order when taking over ownership of the car I bought ...... this applies to 2nd hand cars ....
With established 2nd hand car dealers, all this is taken care of for you and cash settled very nicely......... but of course you get less for your car that you're selling
p/s Dont waste time, I suggest that he go to police station and make a police report.......... this is classified as Fraud (aka Cheating) , a crime ..... it is NOT A private CIVIL CASE .
i think for about $20-50 you can bring the cheque to the issuing bank and have it 'MARKED' ..... that is, lock up the amount in the issuer's account to MAKE SURE that it does not bounce
saves you a day of waiting for it to clear
Hi Bro,
Sorry to hear of your plight. Hope you get your money back.
Fyi, if you deposit the chq yesterday after clearing time, then the chq should clear tomorrow, Friday after 2PM not Monday.
I dropped the cheaque in after i knock off from work as it passed the 3:30 pm cut off timing for clearing of check yesterday. All i can do now is pray hard~~ Hai...
For your information, issuing cheques that bounce due to insufficient funds, or any technical mistakes, such as figures and dates don't Telly, or wrong dates, etc... Will not land the issuers any trouble and is NOT a illegal or criminal offense.
It is only an offense if the account was closed, or if it is someone else cheques.
All guys,
Have been busy with CNY and work, thus the late update. The cheaque has been cleared after the second attempt.
