I cant share about every bank but i know that is a post dated check is presented at the bank i work at we will not honor it. That said, if a post dated check is dropped in the night deposit or ATM machine we really have no choice but to process it. It is technically illegal to write a post dated check.
I worked in banking for years, and never heard of post dated checks being illegal.
Are post-dated checks issuing allowed by the State law in Greece or it is forbidden? Tks for the answer. Massimo
In the United States, post-dated checks are generally legal, but banks are not required to honor them. If a post-dated check is deposited before the date written on it, the bank may process it unless the account holder has provided the bank with written notice not to do so. It is recommended to communicate with the payee and your bank to ensure the check is deposited on the intended date.
If someone writes 4 bad checks that were post dated what charges would they be facing in this situation.
Most checks become stale dated -- which means they cannot be cashed -- after 6 months, though some checks last for a year (business checks). Some checks may have an even shorter life (the check would say "Void after ________"). If your check is stale dated, it is likely your bank will refuse it or, if they accept it, that the drawee bank will return it against your account. You should request a new, currently dated check from the original maker.
Actually nothing. It is the responsibility of the person who received the cheque to deposit and encash it before the cheque becomes stale dated.
debit to cash and credit to accounts receivables
Most banks and check cashing services will not cash "post-dated" checks until the date comes due on the date of the check. However, legally, some jurisdictions have laws that allow the negotiation of post-dated checks under the premise that the payee should be able to collect immediately when given a check.
! Banks have no responsibility to review the date on a check to determine if it should be deposited, paid, refused or rejected (this is in Rules and Regulations provided when an account is opened); On a stale dated check, ifcustomer doesn't want check paid, they should place stop payment on it. This also applies to post dated checks. According the the UCC, a bank can refuse a stale dated or posted check. It is at the discretion of the financial institution.
The date the check can be cashed . For example I wrote ( 5 ) post dated checks last winter to a company that handles my snow removal of my residence Each check was dated the last day of the month . ( November / December / January / February / and March ) That way the company could cash the checks at the end of each month if I went somewhere warmer for the winter
Probably. But they will want a proportion, perhaps a big proportion.
No. Only the person who issued the check to you can replace the stale dated check. Banks do not have any authority to reissue state dated checks to people to whom checks were issued by their account customers. You need to contact the person who gave you the check and ask for a replacement check.
