I received a check from a financial institution via mail that indicated if I cashed, it I would be bound to their loan terms. I kept the check, but forgot that I had it. When I came across it again, I noticed that it had an expiration date on it. The check has already expired; however, I would like to deposit the check (not cash it). Would the financial institution still be obligated? Are there any repercussions I will experience from doing this?
The terms and conditions of the loan may well be outdated and the check shouldn't be paid, even if your bank took it for deposit. If that happened and you were given credit for the check, the check would come back to your bank unpaid. They would then take the funds back out of your account. This would not be a good scenario.
Call the company that issued the check. Tell them you are now interested in getting that loan, and see if they want to help you with a new and more timely offer.
