Re: stars checks valid?
I got another check from another site that was the most ghettos looking thing ever issued by Chexx.
It was actually pretty annoying to deposit, I'm looking at the bank tellers and they are all a bunch of hot chicks in mid 20's then all of a sudden I hear this scratchy stern voice I can help you over here sir. There is this old librarian looking woman way in the corner I hadn’t noticed and she looks at the check and gives me this evil eye. She say "this is going to have a hold" in some mean voice. I was like yeah no problem (all friendly) all out of state checks have hold don’t they? She said yes that is often the case.
So I said: Yeah I think this one might even be from Canada so thought maybe it would be held longer or something. I sold a website and this is the first check from the Escrow company. She was like ohhh. Then got all nice to me:
Was not real worried the whole time but I just opened a bank account with them because BofA returned a totally different check to me and warned me they were watching me. So this is my second account. I just was more concerned wth being friendly to her just because this is a bank I may perhaps use long term if not problems.
It took forever at the bank though. She printed off some form on bank policies which I had to sign. The form was all standard stuff basically just covering the hold periods for out of state checks and warning they would not cover overdraft fees which were a result of checks not clearing blah blah. She said I won’t have to go through the process with future check once my account is established.
