Uncashed check

I completed work for a customer in 2003 and invoiced the customer. The customer paid by check but due to internal clerical error it had never been cashed. I brought a copy of the invoice, signed work order and check to the customer and they agree I performed the work and I should be paid but they don't want to pay me. I asked them if they turned the money over to the state as unclaimed property and they said no. Do I have any recourse?

Re: Uncashed check

If they refuse to pay you will have to sue them. You should speak with an attorney. I offer free intial consultations.

Re: Uncashed check

There is generally a 4 year statute of limitations on contract actions.

Did the bank reject the check when you presented it?

How large a check is it?

Did you put the check in a normal deposit or did you ask if the check was still good?

Good luck to you.
