bounced checks
Returned insufficient payments
Bounced checks are checks that a bank refuses to honor because the account they're drawn on lacks sufficient funds to cover them.
When a check bounces, the recipient doesn't get paid and typically the writer incurs fees from both their own bank and the payee's.
Writing bounced checks repeatedly can result in account closure or legal consequences.
