A family in Oklahoma is struggling to get $50,000 in cash after a cashier’s check they sent through the US Postal Service (USPS) disappeared before it reached its intended recipient.
Jamie Oaks says the check was mailed but never arrived, leaving the money tied up while she ran the USPS route, reports Oklahoma News 4.
The couple is said to be planning to use the money to buy a new home after moving to Texas soon.
“My grandfather died a few years ago, and he had 80 acres in Minco, and that was left to my husband’s father, apparently, and he decided he wanted to sell it and just share the money.”
The results show that the check was processed on Monday, June 15.
“Monday came and went, we didn’t find anything.” So, we went to our local post office here in Orange Grove, Texas, and I talked to the woman there, and she looked up the correct number.
According to a postal worker and a tracer, the last place the check was tracked was at a distribution center in Oklahoma City.
They may withhold the payment, but it’s actually money that’s out there.
The last update was about 30 days ago, and the Oaks family has been filing missing mail reports and reaching out to customers trying to get a check. Oaks says the process has been “frustrating.”
The USPS says it is still looking for the missing check. USPS Becky Hernandez said,
“Providing efficient, reliable, and cost-effective service is very important to the US Postal Service, and we strive to provide exceptional service for every delivery. Unfortunately, sometimes an item does not reach its destination. In this case, the postal administration is aware of the issue, and we continue to investigate and work to locate the mail. This can be a disruption and we remain committed to resolving this issue.”
