@MBB, No problem, That’s what I thought too, until I was proven wrong.

Thanks for this tip…very good to keep in mind. I always figured they wouldn’t cash it until the check date.

@Rob,

Definitely shows you what side of the table has the real ‘power’. It’s ok if THEY do it, but not ok if YOU do it. Sad, sad, sad.

Thanks for the comment and welcome to Credit Withdrawal.

The funny flip side to this is that banks won’ t let you cash / deposit a post dated check in person. I tried in vain to deposit (with a ‘less withdrawl’) paycheck a few years ago – no cash / no money in my account ONE day early – the a-holes that wrote me the check dated it for a Sunday.

A lesson I learned from my father – eventually you can always count on the complacency of the lowest earner. The drive through teller at the next (3rd) branch had no problem ignoring her job responsibilities, not looking twice at the check, and doing for ME what I had asked 4 others to do.
