I'm a customer I had a VERY large check put thru... the bank it was drawn on states.the check cleared on the 29 th at their end . You guys put a hold on it... You say there's no way to tell that it was cleared from the other end... but I found out there is and that you guys are drawing interest on it with it being a large amount... there is a way to tell.. so I guess I'll contact an attorney/ judge to force to release funds.. You shouldn't draw interest off checks that have been cleared on the other end
