Once you sign the check, it becomes legal tender, so itâs 100% legal for a bank to cash a postdated check before the date on it. I postdated my check because I didnât want to miss the due date, and I intended to transfer the funds closer to the date I wrote on the check.
The check was 16 months old, which is what is known as a stale dated check. As I have been told, checks older than 90 days are never supposed to be cashed or credited. When I spoke with the bank manager at Sovereign Bank, he said he was really shocked, that cashing a 16 month old check was, as far as he knew, illegal. The check had originally had a stop payment placed on it.
