Complaint narrative:
I deposited my settlement check from an employment lawsuit into my account.

They then sent me an email stating they received information stating the check would return so they would hold the check until XX/XX/XXXX. Thats outside of the 5 business the law states for banks to hold checks. I called my lawyer and let him know that capital one stated they received information that the check was going to bounce my lawyer stated he didnt believe that and for me to call them because that would cause severe problems in state court for the defendant. I called capital one and they tell me they didnt get that message they are holding the money because they tried to contact the business and didnt get an answer. Its not only a Friday but after XXXX XXXX  in California most healthcare businesses are closed. They then asked for the remitter and I explained that we both signed NDAs and cant be in contact with each but I have his lawyers information they told me no they have to speak to them. I asked could they call XXXX  XXXX XXXX to verify the check they said no. They not only lied in their email but are refusing to actually do their jobs.
