A quick definition of hot check:
A hot check is a type of bad check that is not honored by a bank because the account does not have enough money or does not exist. It is also called a worthless check, rubber check, bounced check, cold check, bogus check, false check, or dry check. A check is a written order to a bank to pay a certain amount of money to a person or organization. There are different types of checks, such as personal checks, cashier's checks, and traveler's checks. A canceled check is one that has been paid by the bank, while a postdated check is one that is dated for a future date. A raised check is one that has been altered to increase the amount, which is illegal. Banks may choose not to honor stale checks that have been outstanding for more than six months.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A check that is not honored because the account either contains insufficient funds or does not exist. It is also known as a bad check, worthless check, rubber check, bounced check, cold check, bogus check, false check, or dry check.
