Well, since you've gave them the choice between a bill of exchange, and a check, they've chose the check. They returned the bill of exchange back to you, and you returned it back to them, and now you want it back ? :/ Seems a little crazy !! :D

I initially gave them clear INSTRUCTIONS that I wanted them to bank the bill of exchange and to return the cheque... I did NOT give them the option to bank the cheque and return the bill of exchange without a notice of dishonour... The cheque was, in good faith, only meant to be banked to avoid delays in the transmission of a zero'ed down account statement if the bill of exchange was refused...

Sounds like they were not CLEAR on those instructions

Kent that's not correct, I spent almost a full hour of MY TIME explaining everything to her BEFORE I sent both instruments. SHE asked questions to better understand it all. She WAS informed. She knew what was coming and what to do with it. She just IGNORED once she got the registered mail. Anyways, now I wanna know what's the proper way to deal with those 3rd party interlopers falsely claiming the PERSON has been doing something wrong... Or what should NOT be done at this point.

Bill em?

I've got the feeling this would stirr some serious shit up :/

Just a thought.
