A Promissory note is an agreement by one party to pay an agreed upon sum to another party. It is basically an IOU. In and of itself, a promissory note is not legal tender, and as such it isn't an item negotiable by a bank. So the bank is correct in not issuing you any credit for this "deposit." On to the next part of your report. So the bank lost the promissory note. How exactly is this terrorism? A lost promissory note isn't a big issue, is it? You can always have the borrower sign a new promissory note, if you failed to keep a copy for your records.
