MTSOs and "paper checks" VENT - lmc

Just received a "paper check" from MTSO before DD kicks in.  I checked the name of the bank, never heard of it, did a website search and apparently, it was a bank that was absorbed by Wachovia which in turn, was absorbed by Wells Fargo.  However, they are still writing checks on the "old bank name."  I spent over an hour on the phone trying to verfify if ineed, I could go into a Wells Fargo branch and this check would be honored.  For heaven's sake, if you are going to be an MTSO, then take the time to order new checks with the proper bank name on them.  I worked for this company for about a week or so.  All communication was done via email  -- no company phone #, etc.  All communication was done via email.  They contract through the government and to me, this was the last straw.  I could have been working and been productive; however, I had to spend over an hour on the phone trying to contact "the original bank," and then branches of Wells Fargo, trying to find out if I could even go in and cash the check at a WF branch.
