BP 22 Inquiry

Good day. I would like to inquire on the step by step procedure of filing a BP 22 case. Also, can I have a format of the letter? Thank you.

(a) Prepare two copies of Demand Letter, any form will do as long as you state in you letter that you are demanding the person to make good the amount of the check he issued within five days from receipt of that letter or else you will file a criminal case;

(b) Send the Demand Letter to the person who issued the check, be sure that you have a proof that the said person received your letter, you may either personally deliver the letter, then let him sign one copy of the demand letter or you via registered mail with return card;

(c) if after five days, he failed to make good the amount of the check, file a complaint with the Prosecutors Office, use as evidence the bounced check, the copy of demand letter you sent, and the proof that he received the said copy, either the signed receiving copy of the letter or the signed return card.

Hi, I will be sending a demand letter together with the NOTICE of Dishonor. Is it acceptable/advisable based on the procedure to send it electronically via e-mail/text messages or other similar ways?

Does a dishonored check due to CLOSED ACCOUNT automatically held him liable against the BP22 law?

Can we used the text messages as evidence against the person who promised to pay the full amount of the bouncing check on several dates, March 09, then March 16 then March 21, 2017? As of now, there is still no money deposited on our account coming from this guy.

I hope you can clear things for me.
