Is it possible

freddie*rooster — Wed, 28 May 2014 12:18:51 GMT

To find out where a cheque was cashed/ or banked?

I have the cheque number the amount it was for and who the drawer was and who the cheque was for.

Tricky question.

I would say unless it was a cheque written out by yourself from your account, then no you wouldn't be able to find that info out. If it was yours, then your bank would be able to trace it.

The person the cheque was written out to. They could make enquiries to whoever wrote the cheque.

If fraud is suspected..report to police.

The cheque was from Telstra for an overpayment of my deceased brothers phone account, the cheque appears to have been stolen from his mailbox, Telstra tell me the cheque has been presented, so I assume it's been banked/cashed.

Inform telstra that the check has been stolen, ask them for the cheque number and to follow it up. They should look into matter for you. If you have the check number and bank you'll be able to find out.

Telstra actually gave me the cheque number when I called them today asking where the refund cheque was, when I asked for more details about the cashing/banking of the cheque he claimed not to know any further, he did tell me the date it was either cashed or banked. I phoned the Bank my Brother banked with and they told me it hadn't been banked into his account.

Ooops I gave you a kudo instead of replying lol

I will call Telstra again tomorrow and quiz them further, but he did offer to begin with to put a stop payment on it, it wasn't until he looked further into it when he found it had been presented.

wouldn't you think a telstra cheque would be marked non-negotiable. That should mean only the person named on the cheque can bank/cash it.

When we were going through a divorce settlement years ago the other side said they hadn't received a cheque from us. Our bank did a trace for us, and got the bank and account that the cheque was presented to. It cost us 10 bucks for the search. And yes, the other side had received and banked the cheque. Lying trollop she was.

oops, but I digress. perhaps your solicitor could get telstra to follow up on where the cheque was presented

You can ask Telstra to find out which account the cheque was put in, it can't be cashed over the counter unless the presenter has a bank account with that bank, they need to re issure the cheque to your brother's estate and follow up on the other one themselves.

Of all companies to deal with Telstra would have to be the ultimate stress attack. I will ring them again today and demand they follow up on this matter, they have told me it's been presented and the only information they would offer was the cheque number and the date it was presented.

Re: Is it possible

azureline** — Wed, 28 May 2014 22:26:18 GMT

yes but it is their problem, not yours, it didn't go into your account or your brother's, get tough and don't let them fob you off.

I had a telstra issue last week that took me 4 days to sort out. Finally all was restored on Tuesday with some apologies and a credit!!.

Freddie are you dealing with the bereavement section of telstra? Make sure you ask for deceased estates and deal with them directly, they seem to be pretty efficient there.

I had a minor glitch with them, but it was me asking for something slightly complicated to be done, I tried to fix it by going through normal channels which only made things worse and I ended up with a $130 disconnection bill. 5 minutes on the phone to bereavement and it was all fixed.

Thanks punchy and Az I will try again now.

debra9275 — Wed, 28 May 2014 23:06:56 GMT

I think Punch is on the right track there Freddie, because getting any information from Telstra is like getting blood out of a stone unless your name is on the account

Good luck with it, I hope you get some answers.

how low is that if somene has taken the mail??

Now that i've cooled off, and put the gun away.

After spending hours with regard to following up and trying to get further information about this cheque from Telstra, NAB Bank, Telstra shop here I even went to the Police who gave me a Fraud questionaire to bring home and fill out to enable them to investigate.

Whilst filling out the papers for the fraud Detectives, I rang my Brother's solicitor to check on some paper work from the Bank, I spoke to his Secretary and just happened to mention the chase up I was doing with regard to this cashed cheque from Telstra, she said "oh that cheque was sent to us we put it in our trust account"

OMG I had fumes leaping from my ears.
