Help!
Ok, here is what has happened....I got a very small inhertance check when my Step-Grandma passed here recently. I went to put it in my checking account the other day. The teller at the window took the check no problems. I check my account and see that it posted so I figure everything is ok. A couple of days later I check my account and see that the check has been returned. I called my brother to see if he had any issues with his check, which he didn't. Anyhoo, I receive a "substitute" check in the mail. It says it is a legal copy of the orginal check and I can use it just like the orginal check. I've been researching on the net but I can't make heads or tails of it. I need to call Regions bank but I have been putting it off.
So you banker types out there, can you explain to me in Layman's terms what this is and can I cash it? I did incur some overdraft fee's which I believe I will be able to collect back from the bank once this is cleared up.
