Foreign cheque clearance

wha · 2011-10-30 21:51:05

I lodged two cheques that were in pound sterling into my account over 3 weeks ago. One was for about £350 and the other for £25. They told me it would take 3 weeks for them to clear but it's been over that now and still waiting. Should I contact the bank about this or the people who wrote the cheques? If there's a problem…

If there's a problem with one then do they wait to clear the whole amount?
Very annoying cos I'm depending on this money!

Can take up 6-8 weeks depending on the issuing bank. But can come back sooner.

They must have been sent on collection basis.
