Re: Received very strange check from Absolute
[ QUOTE ]
I just got the same type of check from Absolute as well. My bank wouldn't cash it and told me I'd have to take it to collections which would be a fee of at least $100. Sounded like BS to me, but that's what they said. They said if I was in Germany I could cash it. I don't understand, don't international checks get processed daily? I don't know what to do and was hoping someone here would have some advice.

Speak to a supervisor or get a new bank.
All, checks are checks. As long as it is from a legit bank in a first world country, it doesn't matter what country it comes from. This one even happens to have a branch in New York. A hold is one thing, refusal is ridiculous.
I suspect many of you look like kids trying to pull a fast one or at least that's what the teller sees. Don't be afraid. Get a supervisor, tell them it's a legitimate check from a legitimate business transaction and you want it deposited. Again, there may be a longer than normal hold but it should be taken.
