Everyone's case is different so its best to see if you have a defense in your specific situation. You might have a strong case saying that you don't owe them money but not enough evidence to say their demand notice was flawed. There could be a defense that you didn't sign the cheque and owe that money. Or you may have signed the cheque but say you already paid the person off. Always focus your defense on the complaints they've made against you. Don't try to cover everything in your answer. If the person did not advance you any money then you may be able to defend yourself. As stated above Section 138 has to do with money or debt that you may owe someone. If the person you accused you of cheating can't prove that they advanced you any money you may have a case. Try and find documentation that the person never advanced you money. You may have Bank records that can show them you were never sent any money by them. Just telling the court that you weren't sent money isn't going to help you very much. Especially if your signature is found on the cheque. If you've paid the person who dishonoured their cheque you can show them proof of payment. This could be a bank transfer or some kind of documentation. Make sure to double check if the money was sent back in full or just part of it. There is always a chance you may owe them money and may not have repaid everything they were asking for. If you think you paid them back speak to a Cheque Bounce Lawyer about your situation.

Saying "Here's my cheque if you don't pay me back I will cash it." Security cheques can be tricky. Its not that if the cheque was for security you can't charge someone. If the amount became payable and was dishonoured then you can still be charged. Say you gave someone a security cheque to ensure that they would pay you. You could fall under section 138 if that amount became payable at some point. On the other hand if the amount didn't become payable you could argue that there was no debt. It's best to speak to a Cheque Bounce Lawyer about your situation if you think you have this as a defense. If your Cheque was altered in anyway you can state that your cheque was tampered with. Make sure you have evidence to back up your words. If your signature is on the Cheque it is possible that your accused still has a case. Maybe the rest of the Cheque was filled out by them but you authorized them to. It's best to find out why the cheque was given out and have some proof that it may of been misused. Don't think you can tell the Court your cheque was misused if you actually owe someone money. You want to have proof that your cheque was used incorrectly or not filled out by you. When serving someone with legal notice there are factors to look at. You may be able to defend your self if you can show that their notice wasn't correct.
