Check for $10,000. It's a BofA check so I take it down to my local Bofa to deposit it in my brand new shiny small business account.

After 5 minutes the teller comes back and says that it is asking for a hold which can't be right let me talk to a manager.

Manager calls somebody checks a few things and comes back : we can't accept this check. the routing number is invalid. Very sorry sir, but this is for your protection

What did the guy that wrote it say?

So the company (my client) uses Merrill Lynch who use BofA to front the check. But the systems haven't been integrated quite yet so BoFa doesn't recognize the number. It looks like a BofA check but doesn't have a BofA number on it

Long story short they ended up taking it while doing everything they could to blame anyone but BofA.

Pretty typical if you deal with BofA much

They are right. NOt about the routing number being wrong, that I don't know. But checks aren't actually deposited to your account until the next business day. IF they were to desposit the check into you account, and you wrote checks on that money and it didn't go thru, you'd be responsible for all those checks and over draft fees.

I hope for your sake you can get it straightened out with the company. $10,000 is too much to take them to Small Claims court. Sometimes the mere mention of a lawyer is enough to put the fear of God into them.

One possibility. BofA has bought up some other banks. When my bank merged with South Carolina Bank & Trust the routing number changed. But they said we could still use our old checks. When I tried to pay by check on line to Duke Power, it kept rejecting my check saying that the routing number was wrong. :mad: Finally I just put it on my debit card, but Duek charges $2.00 to pay with a charge card, but they don't if you pay by check on-line. HOPEFULLY, it's something similar to this. (But you would think BofA would know if it was.)

Good luck!

There you go!

Duke power all over again! (My friends don't understand why I make fun of everything named Duke!)

Like I said, you would think BofA would know this. Case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand it doing. :rolleyes:

Talk about a coincidence. The same thing happened to me when I got that check from the Prince of Nigeria....

I'm glad I helped him deposit that money so that he could provide food and shelter to his citizens! Stupid American banks wouldn't let him do the deposit...

      Brother, you don't end up 32nd in rushing defense accidentally. It takes work.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.
