Spugsy

I got my housing allowance from work a few weeks back, got the contract sorted, paid with my cheque and mrs spugsy's postdated cheque,

Now she STILL hasn't got her cheque from work after 2 weeks and hers is post dated for the 28th of this month, so on the 28th she'll have dir 50,000 coming out of her bank account but will only have about dir 20,000 in there,

If she can't get the cheque today what can we do? Speak to the bank? get a short term loan? what? I hear you get in deep crap for being overdrawn over here,

anyone help please?

Blue Cat

she has got to get back onto her Company, being overdrawn is a real no go here!!! you can end up in jail, honestly Spugs she has to get onto her employer and get it sorted ASAP

Spugsy

christ, I'll get on to her.

Blue Cat

the 28th is Friday!!! you need to get the cheque into the account and get it cleared ASAP. Why are they hanging back on giving her the cheque?

Spugsy

God only knows, she asked for hers before I got mine. How long do they take to clear over here?

Blue Cat

depends on the bank, about 3 days I think, but if her cheque is issued by the same bank as her employers it will clear automatically. Good luck!

Spugsy

she gets teh cheque and they'll put it in tomorrow, not sure if they are the same bank so I'm hoping it clears in time.

Honestly, her people are as crap as mine.

ask the landlord not to cash the cheque until a couple of days later.

Spugsy

I'm trying to contact him, but he may have put them in together.] and be waiting for hers to clear.

agreed - I've had to do this once - they may try to fine you a little - maybe 500dhs - but this may be prefereable to a 50,000dhs bounced cheque.

Inselaffen

a lot of banks actual charge you if you pay a postdated cheque into the bank. so its unlikely he would have done

Spugsy

ah ok, well anyway she gets it tomorrow and her company and her are with HSBC, so it should clear straight away?

insha' allah.

Inselaffen

if it arrives in the morning it will usually be on her account the next day. if its paid into the bank in the afternoon it will probably be Saturday or Sunday before it hits her account.

Spugsy

tomorrow? if it goes in tomorrow morning will it be clear for thursday?
