Talk:Dishonoured cheque

message: I removed the link to Frank Abagnale from the "Intentional Fraud" section, as it really doesn't add anything to the article and wasn't written very well. 216.7.32.7 (talk) 18:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of link to Frank Abagnale

message: Not only does this article give no reference to which countries use this terminology, but non-sufficient is bad English. Surely insufficient is the correct phrase?

replies: text: The one time I saw a stamp on a check it was "Not sufficient funds". At any rate, the far more common, nearly universal (Even amongst banks and buissiness), phrase is "bounced check". The House banking scandal was even referred to by some as "Rubbergate" due to the analogy. 68.39.174.238 05:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Bad English

message: working at major US bank I can tell you that nsf, overdraft, unavailable or uncollected funds are different, they are actions. 
 nsf________________= item returned and not paid 
 overdraft__________= item paid and the resulting physical balance is negative 
 unavailable funds__= item paid and physical balance is positive but available balance is negative  
 uncollected funds__= item returned and not paid due to deposit hold 
they are all very different, there is no need to merge articles from each into one article,  
problem number one is the average consumer doesn't learn the difference,  
problem number two is that goverments (at least here is the US ) are reluctant to define these type of banking actions.  
It looks as though that by combining the articles there might actually be a half-way decent article in there. I don't care which name it ends up with; I did the tags this way so there's a single discussion about it instead of three. 24.4.253.249
:I worked quite hard on building the overdraft article from several different sources, and I wouldn't have a problem with the merge.  But, keep in mind that there is a difference between an overdraft and a non-sufficient funds item.  Typically, NSF items are returned unpaid, whereas OD items can be (and indeed are often) paid, simply overdrawing the account and creating a fee.  Stile4aly 05:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As Stile4aly said, there is a difference between Non-sufficient funds (NSF) and overdraft. The two amounts are normally the same at banks, but there is more options for handling overdraft charges then there is for NSF charges. There is the ability to expand the overdraft page to a larger article with options for OD charge protection. To be truthfull, if the two pages were merged, I don't think it'd be worthwhile - we'd end up with a muck of an article. Perhaps only Non-sufficient funds and unavailable funds can be merged and overdraft is left alone? Coraldayton 19:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Another example is the phrase "Don't let your mouth write a check your ass can't cash." (alternatively, "checks" or "body" (instead of "ass" (alteratively, "bum" or "arse" (with "drum" or "grass" to continue the rhyme))) is used to mean, "Don't make brash boasts you can't back up," and originates in urban English, being attested since the 1960s,[9] though today it's found more generally, as in the 1993 movie Dazed and Confused.
Can someone please make this sentence better? Those nested brackets are painful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.38.88.50 (talk) 11:22, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
