Who is the ££££ brains here.

Obviously not me, as been made very apparent to me today   

Do tell :-?

[Gaffers]

I'll ask the missus once she wakes from her slumber and give the step dad in law a call once the sun is up on his side of the world.  They know a lot about this

No need!! I do not wanna put anyone OUT
Just have to wait I suppose.

Tough Di, cause I wanna help. 

Ok, max it takes for a cheque to clear in the US is 3 days.  Many banks will often clear a government cheque straight away.  So that leaves 8 weeks and 4 days to transfer money from her account to yours.  Last time Cindy sent money over it took 2 weeks, and that was using the cheap option.  There are ways of getting it there faster.  Tell her you will contact the BBB (Better Business Bureau) as her timelines are out of sync with normal expected time delays.  See how her time estimate comes down then.

Just called them and they say the lady I need to speak to is away until 22nd February.
That is why she is not answering my e-mails.
Oh Well, thanks a million everyone, I really appreciate it.

How convenient for her....   

She got a boss??

That's ridiculous.  I would escalate it and ask them to return your cheque (you may well be able to deposit it direct into your UK bank account).   I'm assuming this is a significant amount and for them to be sitting on it for weeks because some one is on holiday is not acceptable.

I work for the worlds local bank, the UK chq clearing cycle is 7 working days (although some will allow to withdraw before that)
The US use the same time scales.
but this all changes if its a different currency and can take 6 weeks. but I am assuming its USD to USD

If you need any more help let me know on finer details via PM I deal with international payments every day

It is $16,745.45 going into a UK account (Abbey) but they said it will take UPTO 10 weeks to clear, so I asked my accountant if she could bank it in her acount and wire the money to me. That was on 7th January, still waiting
D,

[Plomien]

she is getting interest on it or waiting on the exchange rate which for usd to stg is worth doing at the moment

16745.45  USD
=
10,697  GBP

sounds dodgy to me
