Q: Is there a way to find a copy of check that was supposedly cashed in 1987?
I called my place of employment where I would have gotten my pension check from. I called Merryl Lynch also, the distributor of check and they had no record. This would have been in 1987. Please assist. I only know they said it was a check from Bank of America. Thank you.
A:
Knowing banks and bankers as well as I do, I am sure there is a copy of this check somewhere--or perhaps the original cancelled check is buried beneath 100 tons of stuff kept in storage by the bankers--who keep everything forever.
So, yes, there might be a way to find a copy; however, the cost of searching for it might not be affordable.
