SUBSTITUTE CHECK INQUIRIES
What to do if you believe that you may have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check

In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account. The losses you may attempt to recover under the procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal.
If you believe that you may have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us at:

The Northern Trust Company
Client Services
50 S. La Salle St., C5S
Chicago, IL 60603

You must contact us within 60 days of the date that we mailed the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. The claim must include:

  • A description of why you have suffered a loss;
  • An estimate of the amount of your loss;
  • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss; and
  • A copy of the substitute check or the following information to help us identify the substitute check: the check number, the amount of the check, the date of the check, and the name of the person to whom you wrote the check.
