My wife and I sold our house. At close, we received a check from the title agency, of the equity from our property. We endorsed the check, using my wife 's signature, and deposited it via ATM at a local Bank of America branch. On the next business day, my wife called the branch to confirm that there will be no issue with the deposit. The branch agent confirmed emphatically that there will be no issue. However, Bank of America ultimately rejected the deposit, claiming that a check of such great amount required XXXX of our signatures and that XXXX parties stated on the check as members on the bank account. The bank then lost control of the check as it circulated it through its internal return process. The bank could not tell us what happened to the check once it was rejected for deposit. The bank passed us through a labrynth of unhelpful customer service agents. We have gotten nowhere with the bank. All of this trouble is due to the bank branch simply not contacting us to request additional information and instead losing the check through its inadequate procedures. We remain without the equity from the sale of our home. This is money that we needed to buy a new home, and so our lives have been adversely affected by the bank 's negligence. Until this money is uncovered, we will not be able to honor our contractual obligations to purchase another property. There was no contingency for this problem in the contract, and so the seller may hold us in breach of contract.
