Basically you should not have written checks against this check until you were certain that the check had cleared. Right now you could advise your bank about the other bank's hold policy and see if there is anything they can do to speed things along for you. They may be able to do this if you approach the branch manager and explain the circumstances involved. Other than that, there is virtually nothing you can do.
