Hi

Can anyone give me the legal policy regarding post-dated checks in the US? I vaguely recall someone either here, or at the BB forum stating that the date on post-dated checks doesn't matter - the checks are legally cashable when received whether they are post-dated or not??

Can you tell me where I could find the official law or whatever? Or a link to somewhere?

I'm in Canada, and here, we have to respect the date - i.e. we cannot cash a cheque/check before the check date. Banks are supposed to return those cheques to us if we cash them "early", but who checks these days?

Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing that, since you're probably depositing this in a Canadian bank, the Canadian laws will apply. However, check out the following links:
