I can't see why losing this check is being used as an excuse for maxing out his credit cards. Sounds like he was spending his inheritance before he received it.

Whoever gave UPS the ability to lose, or not to lose, that much money is the at fault.
Any shipping company for that matter.

Never heard of a wire transfer?

The only thing preventing the Bank from putting a STOP payment on the Draft and issuing a New one is GREED!!!

Have they never heard of a stop payment?? This story smells like BS to me.
To: Oshkalaboomboom
Some people are kind of stupid that way.
I received a decent inheritance a few years ago. We gave some to the kids college funds and did a couple repairs on the house. Besides that, it’s all in retirement savings and growing bigger every day #MAGA

They couldnt do this electronically? As far as driving the 270* miles, what the heck, take a cab, its $ 800K , you can afford it.
* Even if it was 540 miles round trip, Id have gone to get it.

UP should pay this family for what their own employees lost.
Is there no way to cancel the value of an issued Bank Draft?
There should be. Bank Draft polices have probably been overlooked, as there are more modern ways to transfer funds now. The $32.00 refund is an insult.
I would be publicizing this event from the rooftops, were it me. People should be warned about the present policies of UP.
To: Oshkalaboomboom
Yup,saw it.Seems to me that it would be pretty easy to put a stop payment on the check.Although the issuing bank might not replace it immediately they'd certainly replace it at some point.
Of course they should be able to sue UPS for damages incurred as a result of the delay in getting the funds.

I worked at a bank. They can easily cut a new check.

Who would ship that much cash by ups??? Something odd there

This really has nothing to do with UPS. It’s all about the bank TD Canada.
And to be honest, I don’t think the bank is really at fault. I have a hard time believing the family could be this stupid. I don’t believe their story at all.

$846 large? Two words: wire transfer.

Remember, if your money is with a bank - the money is NOT 100% really yours.
You are just an unsecured creditor, and the lowest level one at that.

If we’re taking a check for going on a million bucks, I’m paying the bank to send a bonded courier to deliver it personally.
