Who was summoned when the customer wrote a bad cheque? (7)

I believe the answer is:

bouncer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cheque?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Dud cheque' mean 'bouncer' so perhaps 'cheque' could also mean 'bouncer')

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bouncer that I've seen before include "trampolinist?" , "Club guard; short ball" , "Dud cheque" , "He guards the entrance to nightclubs" , "One who keeps troublemakers out of a bar" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
