Step 1 of 4

الخطوة 1 · دورك

Are you the holder or the drawer?

Holder = you received the cheque and it bounced. Drawer = you wrote the cheque that bounced.

الخطوة 2 · سبب الارتداد

Why did the cheque bounce?

The reason determines whether the case can be criminal or civil only. The 2022 amendments decriminalised most non-malicious bounces.

الخطوة 3 · المبلغ

Cheque amount?

The amount affects recovery route, court level, and (for criminal track) sentencing severity.

الخطوة 4 · التوقيت والوقائع

Any of these apply?

These facts change the recovery strategy materially.
