G.N.
Believe me when i say its the banks fault, if you put a stop payment on it they should have stopped it. I would call and talk to the manager.
I used to work for a bank and when a stoppayment is put on a check it should be stopped. The customer is always right. I was working in a bank and working in the dept of stopping the checks with stoppayments put on them, well one got by me and it was for alot of money, thousands, my boss at the time said that i was a good worker,she said in a case like this we would normally fire someone but they liked how i worked they just put me back on my old job.
What bank did u go thru?
Send me a personal message and i will see what i can do.
