I'm not sure, and don't want to cause any panic, but doesn't a bounced check cause a marking of some sort? Or is it just with CCs?

Bounced cheques in the UK do not affect your credit rating. You get a charge from your bank. Thats it.

You've actually broken the rules with regards to writing cheques. As when you sign a cheque you are signing to say that the money is in your account.

The cheque will get sent back to the person who presented it (in my experince) so the landlord, then he will either be able to represent it or ask for a new one to be reiussed by the issuer depanding on how the cheque has been dealt with by the paying bank.

Technically that charge is debateable. All charges and unauthorised overdrafts are unconsideration by the office of fair trading and the banks in the UK. The court case is due in the coming months. It may be that you get your money back in the future.

To where the cheque goes will depend on, as someone stated before, how the bank handled the decision with the cheque. it would probably be set as RD (refer drawer) or RP (refer payee).
Probably a standard return charge from the bank issued, and if your landlord uses a business account to pay his cheques into he probably got charged too, and would be after you to recover the costs of that quite rightly as it wasnt his fault.
Depending on the amount and the way you handled your accounts in the past i'm surprised you didnt get a phone call to make you aware of the fact that you were going to be unable to pay the cheque and give you the chance to sort it on the day before they made the decision on it.

Although you probably put the phone down on the nice man in Hyderabad that wanted to let you know you were skint worried that he was going to offer you better internet service providings.
