My recent business check was put under an extensive hold by PNC Bank. It was fully endorsed by all parties. PNC put a hold on it saying they did not know all the endorsers yet it matches the check front completely.

I demanded they return my check so I could deposit it at another bank, they refused. I then demanded they overnight the check to other bank who within 60 minutes of my call said yes send it to us we will clear it., they refused. They refused to discuss it at the corporate office in Pittsburgh. My calls to the regional president went unreturned.

At this time they are sending my check back to the company who wrote the check. Its the holidays I will end up with a delay on my check for about 4 weeks to get another and clear it.

I believe PNC has violated federal laws in illegally withholding my check of which they have no interest in. Federal Law of Expedited Funds Availability Act prohibits PNC from doing what they did.

I have reviewed this with my attorney which states PNC has likely broken federal laws in there action. I have now began a law suite against PNC. I also filed a complaint against PNC with the Federal Reserve.

You might want to use a different bank if you have large sums to deposit and not use PNC. Branch manager in this case was not helpful and not on top of the problem either. Calls to the complaint dept at PNC was a waste of time.

There seems to be some information left out.

First of all there are cases where a bank can not release funds on a check until the 11th BUSINESS Day. Since you didn't say what you felt was extensive or the amount of the check we have no idea if they were in these guidelines.

From what you did write, this appears that it is a multi-party check for a pretty good sum of money. Depending on the type of check I could see where a bank might be a bit leary of releasing the funds earlier than they had to. Again we just have your word that it was excessive, no details as to if it actually was or not.

You describe this Multi-Party check as "my" check at several points. Which does seem a bit strange that a check that needed to be endorsed by "all parties" would all of the sudden become yours to be deposited into your account.

I also wonder where you got the idea that they have "no interest" in the check. If it comes back bad, yes you are responsible for that. However, UNTIL you paid them back either voluntarily or through a judgment they are out that money. So yes they have a very big interest in the check.

Which specific sections of what Federal laws does your lawyer feel they broke?
