We were presented with a check. On that check was printed "Not negotiable before due date." Is this in regard to the actual date on check? With the current regulations in place does it matter as to when this item is processed or must it be processed no earlier than that day?

What is the best way to handle an insurance check made payable to an individual that's being deposited into a business account? For example, John Doe was in an auto accident. His insurance company sent the auto body shop a check made payable to John for repairs. The auto body then deposits the check into their business account. Same type of example for medical claims as well.

Our customer reported checks stolen on their account. They filled
out the necessary forms, and we placed an alert on their account regarding
the stolen checks and check sequence numbers and placed stop payments on the
stolen checks. The following day, one of the stolen checks was presented for cash. However, the teller told the person we could not cash it because there had been a stop payment placed on the check. She did NOT give the check back to the person, but she did let the person leave the bank. Was it the bank's responsibility to call the police while the person was still there or should we have just contacted our customer and let them handle the matter with the police department?

We have an account that has been closed for several years due to the account being compromised. We recently have had some checks come through our cash letter and want to know the best reason to provide for returning them. I don't want to return them as forgeries because I do not have an affidavit signed by the customer. Is there a reason of "account closed at customer's request due to forgery"? Our processor says they can not use this reason.
