Reading through this thread has been pretty entertaining. However, OP, if you insist on trying to duck your responsibilities, you just might get arrested. The police will take your mug shot and fingerprint you. Then you might have to wait in little room with bars on it until they can find someone who actually has brains to figure out how long to keep you there.

Man up, dude, and pay what you owe. Problem solved.

You know what the public calls people with the attitude the OP has. It is dead beat.

Which means give the right person a bad check, and you wish you we were dead after the beating.

After that contractually the payee has no right to file claims that the amount owed wasn't paid, right? The payee can decide not to do further business with the other party, but amount owed was paid even if not actually received, correct me if I'm wrong
NO.

Writing a cheque you know will bounce, is FRAUD.

Illegal.

It's like they tried to pay you with a piece of toilet paper, and you're going, does this toilet paper mean they've paid?

No, it doesnt.

Take them to court, and see LE about pressing fraud charges. They probably won't, but they just might especially if old chum makes a habit of it.

If you work a job and your boss gives you a check at the end of the week and the check bounces, would YOU have been paid?

It's like the guillotine rule where if the blade doesn't come down, you get to live and walk on out
Seriously? Probably been said a million times in this lengthy thread, but this is the real world and it looks nothing like the one you are referencing with the check and guillotine analogies.

This post seems purely designed to get responses and win the activity contest going on... It can't be real.

this poster sounds suspiciously like a teenager who was banned because of being underage and making inappropriate posts. You know... they get banned and then come back with new name. There ought to be a way to find these people and well...he has same interests and style of writing and this guy joined just about a month or so after the kid was banned. just saying. if he's not the same he definitely sounds like a teenager with limited if any experience with personal finance.

You didn't receive the money, so NO.

Done! Next question?
