As a business, if i accept a post dated check for 15 days, do I need to send the customer a reminder letter?

No, but I would call the bank and see if they have the funds to cash it and if they do take it right then and get it cashed.

DO NOT SEND MONEY!  You are most likely on the brink of being ripped off.  If this was ligit the person would/should prefer a money order (or check since there is plenty of time for it to clear).  Take the advice of a previous answer and pick a place when you can do a walk through.

Most people on here have it right.  Six Months or more is called a stale check and another must be issued. It doesn't matter what the policy is of your bank because if the maker's bank doesn't honor it then it will be returned on you.  \n\nThe only exception is if it is otherwise specified on the check as in "check not valid after 30 days" or "check good for one year from date printed" but you'll find these on state checks and company checks, not personal checks.

Generally, in order for a person to be considered legally notified, the letter would have to actually be recieved by the due date.\n\nThis is an area of the law that is determined more by legal precidents set by the courts than actual statutes, and such precidents will vary slightly from one area to the next.  \n\nWhat is interesting is that the contract specifies that the notification should be "by mail" rather than simply stating "in writing".  Because the contract indicates that notification by mail is expected, it could be argued that the seller has accepted the implied limitations of that form of notification.

If you e-file it takes 3-4 weeks for a paper check. 8-15 days for direct deposit.\nIf you mail in the return then it can take up to 6-8 weeks.

the instant it is printed.  what i think you really mean is "when will it post to my account?"  in that case it can be from instantly to several days depending on how it's processed.  not too many aren't doing it all electronically so you may as well just consider it gone the minute you hand over the card.

I mail deposits to my bank all the time. The procedure might depend on the actual bank. I have a bunch of deposit slips that I can mail in with the check (endorsed with 'FOR DEPOSIT ONLY'). Then the bank mails me back a receipt and a new deposit slip for next time. You  might want to check with your bank on the specific requirements they have.

It is very common to offer 2% 10 Net 30, for paying early. That is you are giving someone a 2% discount to pay in 10 days instead of 30, where they pay the net amount.\n\nIt would not then be out of line to charge the same rate for a month. Be sure and give a grace period after the 30 days, people that sent a check two days late will not be thrilled to hear you want another few bucks out of them for late fees. Start charging it after 45 days or something but calculate it back to the 30 days. 2% is about 25% annually, which should be near the limit you would want to charge otherwise it might be considered punative and you may have trouble collecting if someone takes you to court. (it is illegal for a landlord to charge a high late fee if it is punative for example and the expenses for getting the money late can't be shown to affect you that much).\n\nAlso make sure it is on the bid and invoice in the first place. You cant just spring it on them later.

You could ask your employer.  It doesn't make any difference: in town, out of town, wherever, they must be postmarked by Jan. 31.

Send in your receipts. They also usually have a form to fill out.

You have to wait until the company cuts checks (or whenever your pay period ends) and then the company will usually mail it.  It's pretty standard.  Most managers won't just cut you a check when you give your notice or on your last day.

If it's a bill you need to have it in the mailbox by the 16th or begginning of the 17th so they can stamp it it for example look at a letter and over the mailing stamp there is a stamp of the date that is the postmark this way they wont charge you for a late fee or say you did not send it on time.

depends on their contract statement.  some say they absolutely have to have to payment BY the due date, not just postmarked

My understanding is a bill for work done, goods delivered etc must be issued within 3 years of delivery/work done. if not issued within three years then you may have an option to refuse due to the time lapsed from date of receiving the service. PS don't take my word for this, it is my understanding, check with the citizens advice, or similar body, to confirm. In your situation, providing you can check and confirm payment taken or not, then if payment not taken you are liable to pay this account

I believe that depending on your state law, usually its 30 days after you send out notice. I know the most you can give is 90 days. Make sure to keep proof that you sent them out notices and they repeatly ignored all attempts to contact them. Or if you don't know what your state law is, I would store the items for awhile until you find out. Usually its 30 days but laws are different now so dont want to say it is 100%.

A check is considered "stale-dated" at the bank after 6 months. I tried to cash a check after 6 months one time and they wouldn't cash it. I don't think writing on a check "not valid after ___" and filling in a date will work as everything is electronic and that would be dependant on the bank employee noticing what's written on it. When you give someone a check, you are trusting them to be honest in any terms you've given them regarding writing them a check. I even had a bank tell me before that post-dating a check doesn't really do anything either. They told me that if the person I gave a post-dated check to decided to cash it, that it might go through. This made no sense to me, but that's what they said. Banks are awful. Just be careful who you write checks to, and think twice if you don't trust the person to cash it when they're supposed to.
