I did a project for them a while back and was paid on time according to their contract with a check dated the 15th of June. I set aside the check and forgot to deposit it, and only deposited it last week. I received the check sent back to me from my bank today. It came from the "Loss prevention" department. They deducted the $63 deposit from my account, and charged me an additional $5. The check should have been valid through the 15th of this month according to the terms the MSC stamped onto their own check.
The reason it was returned? "BRANCH/ACCOUNT SOLD".
I will be contacting them first thing Monday about this. I am not happy. What kind of company does not leave their account open to clear still good checks they have written on their own account?
