Description

Received a letter in the mail stating a check was sent to me on 12/23/2024 that was not deposited/cashed prior to the expiration date. It stated that the original check is no longer valid and if I wanted the check to be reissued then I needed to sign and return the letter by mail, email ([email protected], fax it to 806-349-5870 or call t 1-800-448-2542 within 45 days. They then provided a policy number, an account number, check number, original check date, and amount on the check. It also stated that the letter needed to be notarized or I could provide a copy of a government issued photo id.
