I was struggling to think of a profitable, malicious use case for this but there is at least one: send someone like your landlord a check with insufficient funds in your account and put a hold on their mail, hoping they won't straighten it out until you get paid.
Landlords and vendors can do the same thing: Send you a notice of changes in terms to your contract, and then bill you and send you to collections before you have a chance to object. (Been there, done that, with a landlord who decided that "the apartment I previously rented from her" was my current official contact address. )
