Hey guys,
Kind of urgent. In the past month I cashed out $1,000, $3,000, and another $3,000 from 5Dimes. I just took my most recent check for $3,000 to the bank to deposit it. They initially deposited it and told me it would be available tomorrow. I just got home and my bank called and told me that my check is being sent to Collections. They told me I need to come back to the bank and fill out some paper work to have the check sent to their foreign funds department. (The check is written from a Canadian bank, BMO I believe). They told me the check needs to be sent in, that it may take 2-3 weeks to get foreign funds, and that my bank collects fees for foreign checks. I used to work at this bank and I told them the check is already in American $$, I'm not worried about the check 'bouncing', and that they should just deposit it and see what happens tomorrow. But they said no. So now the bank has my check locked up at their branch and they are awaiting my return.
Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do?
