Dutch term or phrase: (een cheque) in verzet plaatsen
Gezien de aanbiedingsperiode van deze cheque verstreken is en bijgevolg niet meer kan geïnd worden, dient u opdracht te geven aan de trekker van de cheque, zijnde de firma Alcan, om deze in verzet te laten plaatsen.
Zodra de cheque in verzet is geplaatst, kan de firma X opdracht geven aan de Bank om een nieuwe cheque voor hetzelfde bedrag aan te maken.

Thanks!
