Default Cashing a Party Check in the US?

I am a US Citizen who lives abroad. If I order a check from Party to my house outside of the US and then try to deposit it a bank account in the US, is it likely to result in problems with either the US Bank or Party?

Thanks,

Oscar

I cashed two checks from Party earlier this year and had no problems at all.

Its most likely going to be an international check. A US bank will still cash it but you will have to fill out a form and pay like $20 or so.

Check the bank that its drawn on. If its not in the US, and you dont fill out the form, it will get sent back.

The checks I got were drawn on a London bank and I didn't have to fill out any forms nor pay any fees.

Hmm...mine was from a London bank and I had to jump thru all kinds of hoops since neither the teller or I noticed that until the check was sent thru...to whoever it gets sent to and then returned.

Default I am sure Party wrote some hefty checks to Harrahs this year .....

... so there is no reason you should have any issue because of the payor.

However, you might ask your bank if the instrument (check) you received is coded to go through the Federal Reserve system .... The little numbers on the bottom, in a readable ink.

Why not deposit it where you live abroad ?

Because I live in a country where money laundering is an enormous problem. Both of my banks have already refused to receive additional bank wires from Party because of their concerns. I imagine I will have the same problem with a check of any sizeable value.

Anyways, thanks for the responses.
