The following chat was done at XXXX/XXXX/2015 at XXXX EST : -- -- XXXX : Good day! Thank you for chatting with Bank of America, my name is XXXX.

XXXX : If a postdated check ( a check dated in the future ) is presented for payment, the bank may pay the check and charge it to your account even if it is presented for payment before the date stated on the check. Your only option to stop the check before it pays, would be to place a stop payment on it. The fee is XXXX dollars per stop payment. 
XXXX XXXX : If " the customer has given notice to the bank of the postdating describing the check with reasonable certainty '' the Uniform Commercial Code requires that the notice to be honored. That is what I readXXXX XXXX : According to commerical banking code XXXX XXXX : I was n't asking you if it is possible since it is the law, I was asking you how to submit a notice for post-dated check which banks must legally abide by. 
XXXX : We are not able to submit a notice.

XXXX XXXX : I do n't want to stop the check, I want to post-dated.

XXXX : The Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) requires banks to accept instructions to delay payment on post dated checks ( stop payment ), as long as the bank is notified within a reasonable time period before checks are presented for payment. 
XXXX XXXX : Are you saying that Delaying a check is the same as stop payment? I do not see that ( stop payment ) part you just added.
