In most of the cases the money lenders take blank undated signed cheques while advancing loans. Since your mother has issued a cheque signed by her, the financiers will misuse the same by filling huge amount and prosecute your mother under the provisions of Negotiable Instruments Act. The exorbitant charging of interest is against law and the money lender should have obtained money lending license before advancing loan. Before the financier issues any notice to you, it is better you issue a notice stating the true facts which will help you to defend your case. In any way your father will not be liable since he is not the signatory.

If your mother alone has signed the cheques then the liability can be fastened to her alone. Neither you nor your father can be prosecuted for default in repayment of loan or for bouncing of cheques issued towards repayment of loan.

1. What has your mother done with so much of money taken without the consent and knowledge of your father & you?

2. If she has taken the loan, she has to return it as required by law,

3. The interest rate can not be more than that specified by the RBI,

4. Moreover the lenders should have license for lending money against collection of interest,

5. However, the lenders will deposit the cheques after filling the dates and in case of dishonour, will initiate action u/s138 of N.I.Act.
