Wrong Deposit: Wants Original Check Returned

My company gave me a check payable to my credit card company for a purchase I made. I mistakenly deposited it into my checking account. Thankfully, my bank reversed the deposit immediately. Will I receive the original check back so that I can get a replacement and forward to the credit card company?

It will depend on how far the check went before your bank caught the error. If the check was actually not processed by your bank, you should be able to get it back quickly. However, if the check was sent on its way to your company's bank to be paid, getting the actual check back may not be possible. Contact your bank to find out how best to proceed.
