  • (1) Unless otherwise instructed, a collecting bank may present an item
      not  payable  by, through or at a bank by sending to the party to accept
      or pay a written notice that the bank holds the item for  acceptance  or
      payment. The notice must be sent in time to be received on or before the
      day  when  presentment  is due and the bank must meet any requirement of
      the party to accept or pay under Section 3--505  by  the  close  of  the
      bank's next banking day after it knows of the requirement.
        (2)  Where presentment is made by notice and neither honor nor request
      for compliance with a requirement under Section 3--505  is  received  by
      the close of business on the day after maturity or in the case of demand
      items by the close of business on the third banking day after notice was
      sent,  the  presenting  bank may treat the item as dishonored and charge
      any secondary party by sending him notice of the facts.
