A hard lesson I learned today
 

Well I'm an Idiot, took a check from a "friend" who didn't write it out properly and took it to the bank. I then get accused of forging it. They refused to call the person at first but the when I talked to the manager she called, as I don't like be accused of things that I didn't do.

So never take a check from anyone!


:mad: :mad: :mad:

That suxx! :disgust

It does, now I have to drive back over there, 20 miles away. I will be in the drive way when he gets home.

:)

Checks are such a pain, they should do away with all together.

i agree:thumbsup

Sometimes, we learn things the hard way.

That's really not the thing to say here. I take cheques from people all the time, mostly clients, my renters, etc.

What you should be saying is "have a look at the cheque as soon as the person is finished writing it and make sure it's filled out correctly!"

So, did you end up getting the money you were owed finally?

I should have said a personal check. No I have had it taken care of, I was at the bank at 9:30am it 11:48am now and I have to wait till 5pm when he gets home from work.
To be honest with you it was written just like all the other I have taken from him, the lady was just being nasty.

Didnt write it out properly? What could go wrong? Wrote one numeral and wrote the text differently?

edit: also your bank literally accused you of forging the check right there while you and other people were in the bank? holy shit

You said you'll be waiting in the driveway for "him", so I'm guessing this isn't about the bra lady who owes you $$$.

Sorry about your situation...

well as much as possible i dont want to accept/receive checks cause they're a hassle...

Nope it's not the bra lady:( but I was going to get new bras with the $$!

:1orglaugh

Thank you I needed a laugh.

You always attrack trouble hun, maybe you shouldnt go out anymore

You could have deposited it directly into an ATM... unless it's a tiny bank without that option.

That's not very nice to say.

Yes, that's what I meant too.. I take a lot of personal cheques. My website clients and renters mostly all pay with personal cheques. The odd time a tenant has bounced a cheque to me, but I always gets paid because I knows where they live :D

Maybe you should go back to that bank and tell the manager you are going to pull all of your banking out of their shitty bank if that's the way they treat their customers. How long have you been with them? I've been at my bank for over 16 years now, and if anyone there ever fucking talked to me like that and basically accused me of wrong-doing I would blast them big time, and I WOULD move my business to another bank in before the manager could shit his or her pants.

release the hounds ;)
