We are dealing with a credit union. When we presented them with the original check... they made verification that the check was good, and there was money in the account.... they then wired the money over to where it was to go...
When they tried to do the transfer to get the money from the check... they said it wasn't good... It is very confusing... at any rate.. the bank cleared the check, wired the money over before waiting for the transfer of money to come in... now we are held responsible for the full amount...
I think they should have some partial responsibility in this since we took their word for the check being good... We know we need to sholder some of this ... but they should also be liable.
Did a representative from the bank tell you explicitly that the check was good? If so you should retain an attorney, if you took it for granted they verified the check, you are responsible for the total amount.
