Description:

Not Authorized or Counterfeit - Unauthorized, Not Authorized, and UA and Counterfeit stamps are typically a result of the account holder disputing the item during the payment presentment process, or if a particular block is noted on the account such as "no drafts" or "no debits" and such an item is presented. 

Items marked Not Authorized or Unauthorized or Counterfeit Check, cannot be re-deposited.

 

Protection:
Use services that will check the validity of your checks and drafts before you deposit the items. If you don't know how to contact the bank once the check is returned, call the bank phone number. You can use RoutingTool to verify the Routing Number or BetterCheck to verify the check.
