Yes they can for several reasons. If you don't have an account with them can plus they can charge you a fee if they do. If there is something that looks wrong with the check they can refuse.

You can do two things: a. Ask the person who gave you the cheque that bounced (got dishonored) to pay you again. If they agree then well and good. b. If they refuse to pay, then you can file a police complaint against the person who gave you the bounced cheque and request the authorities to get you the money you were supposed to get through that cheque.
