âNothing, to my way of thinking, is a better proof of a well ordered mind than a manâs ability to stop just where he is and pass some time in his own company. â â Seneca, Letters From a Stoic. Itâs not that we live in an age of distractions, but rather an age where we are failing to teach and embrace mindful motives.
Preissued, postdated cashier's checks are not cashier's checks or issued officer's checks until the date they become payable. Indeed, until the due date, a preissued, postdated cashier's check is not even a check as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code.
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.
