Bank Clerk thinks UB check is fake! Please help.

[sdfsdf]

always deposit poker checks at the atm

[Guthrie]

Deposit it in an ATM or night depository. That way you aren't face to face with a moron, and if anyone questions the check it just gets kicked up to a supervisor, instead of shoved back across the counter to get you out of their way.

I had nearly the same problem:

AP and UB use the same checks, and when I tried depositing
my AP check to Bank of America they mailed it back to
me 2 days later, highlighting the bottom of the check
and explaining that there is NO ACCOUNT #...There
is only a routing #....I had to put a stop on
the check, and get a new one.

I cashed out another check via UB, and this one was
also the Frankfurt check format...This time I deposited
it into Wash Mutual and it cleared no problem...I forgot
to even look if it had an account # at the bottom though.

Have no idea about the watermark issue.

Ever watched that seen in Midnight Express, where Billy Hayes in trying to get a couple of keys of heroin out of Turkey? He's at customs chewing gum furiously, sweating and on the verge of panic.

If you do this while depositing a check, you will raise some eyebrows.

your comparison is like saying smuggling heroin is legal, and when u want to put it in the bank (outside of turkey) if they catch you smuggling they just give the heroin back to you and say "even though this is legal we can't process it, the UIGEA says it's illegal to. try another bank..err, country."

nice try though.

Heroin isn't legal?


p.s. You missed the point----I wasn't comparing the two, I was saying if you acted like the character in the movie, you would be suspicious. The point being, people are in such a panic over these checks they act like they are doing something illegal.

I agree the subject should be altered to "How to deal with [censored] bank clerks/managers that don't recognize international mediums of exchange", however I have no idea how to do it. I don't think it should be [expletive] deleted however, as it might be of use to some other unfortunate soul having to deal with the same [expletive] issue.

doesn't the check have a phone number on it?

[Homer]

throw it in the atm or tell the stupid teller that the check is real. i mean, it had a routing number and account number on it, right? how can they say it is fake?
