Day amp arrives Cashier check returned


Today an amp I shipped across the country arrived safely at it's destination. Oddly enogh while I was at the bank today I was informed that a rather large cashier's check did not clear.

I called the guy up and he answered the phone (good sign) He say's he does not understand what could have happened and will check in to it first thing in the mourning.

My bank say's he may have stopped payment on the cashiers check. They could not give me any other details. Just that I would be recieving the check back in the mail in a few day's

Does this kind of stuff ever turn out good? Or am I screwed?

I will follow up tomorrow.

I got a call from the branch manager of the buyers bank this mourning. She went out of her way to track down this check. She made a photo copy of both sides. Guess what? I forgot to sign the back.

My thoughts at this time are that my bank stinks. They couldn't tell me this three day's ago? Instead they give me the run around, nobody knows nothing. Every person I talked to told me something different.

The last idiot I talked to said they were going to stick it in an envelope, put a stamp on it and send it back to me.

How nice!

Strip the money from my account without warning me or without any explination. Then mail a pretty big chunk of change back to me non-certified mail. Think twice before signing up at Washington Mutual. These people don't have a clue how to treat their customers.

Imagine if this were an international transaction for three times the amount. :^(

Never say it can't happen to me because for me it just did.

I'll keep this thread going till the deal is complete.

Right now I'm waiting a few days on the mail.
Glen, I think the story goes something like and God blamed Adam and Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent and Glen blamed the bank and the bank blamed the clerk and clerk blamed ....
Just recieved the check back in the mail. Take us back to DEF CON 5 or is it DEF CON 1 I forget? anyway got to get to the bank.

Thanks everyone for your concern and support. Your the best family a guy could have :^)
Hey Glen- Nice to have a happy ending; real scary that the bank could foul things up so much. I now bank at the largest New England regional bank and most of their folks are clueless. And the phones for the branches are unlisted, you have to call the answer center and they are worse than clueless. Luckily, I met the branch manager at a local branch (not nearly the nearest) through my accountant, and he can usually solve my problems pretty quickly, but it is amazing how many mistakes they've made over the past 5 years.
