Checking Account Woes
Lifelong customers shocked that we received a strange phone call from pioneer bank today ; some woman stated she is returning our 3rd party checks that we wanted to deposit in our checking account. We have deposited 3rd party checks now for some 25+ years. Intrusive questions, she was on a speaker phone and being coached what to say to me. "Where did we get these checks/", "they will be returned, they can't be deposited unless these people ( 20 or so) signed them in the bank in person." How rude and illegal. A return phone by us to the bank, they do indeed accept 3rd party checks and suggested I send a letter. Just like a 3rd grader that needs persmission.
