Unpaid item – Jargon Buster

An Unpaid item occurs when a bank does not pay a cheque, Direct debit or Standing order presented on the current account. It may happen if there are insufficient funds in an account to pay the amount presented for payment. Other reasons include the possibility that a cheque is out of date or the Bank has received an instruction to stop a cheque.
