Last month I put a deposit for $750 into an envelope (one check) and put it in the shoot for the night deposit. I have done this at least 100 times over the last ten years.
The next morning it was not in my account.
I called the bank. They "went and looked and looked in the night deposit and checked all the trash cans" and IT WAS NOT, NOT, NOT THERE.
I was really worried because I figured that someone had fished it out of the box. I got their word that they would review the security camera video because I was able to give them the exact time within five minutes that it was deposited. They did and they saw me make the deposit. I think that it was at that moment they actually went and looked in earnest for it.
Fortunately, right before I had the issuing party go to the trouble of stopping payment, the check was miraculously found stuck in the night deposit.
It's there. They have just overlooked it. |
