I had money in the bank but chose to use a check instead of cash.I was denied.

There was a line full of people and it was the day before black friday so I was embarrassed. I was not given a number to call so that I could follow up. I was not sent a letter of any sort to warn me.

I am lucky this purchase was not for any emergency medication that I may have really needed like my asthma medication, that is why a letter to warn is very important.I do not believe any agency should stop authorization on money that you have. 30b1fa8

For starters USMC DEATH CARD it is the 21st century the 19th century was from 1800 AD to 1900AD. And checks are still widely used because when there are issues with ones credit or debit cards such as a re0issue of the card due to fraudulent expenditures, bank branches aren't always open , or easy to drive to when you need something for your household. May you have to go through the same difficulties and get denied by telecheck so you can understand something you know nothing about. I use checks on certain accounts because they are easier to track when it comes to fraud and also if they are missing you can put a stop payment on those checks without compromising the ability to use your money. and telelcheck decided to decline a check from investment account which at that time had over 250K in it so Telecheck is indeed retarded and Telecheck also reports to the major credit bureaus when they decline your check even the first time.

Same thing happened to me tonite!! Sooooo embarassin!! I couldnt use my debit card because it had to reissued due to some fraudulant purchases where I had been hacked on a motel wi-fi while traveling. Got that took care of and refunded but had not gotten my new card yet... so I had to pickup layaways at KMART. They took one check from me and what cash I had on hand at layaway, I had two layaways so it had to be two transactions, one in cash, the other a check, couldnt do it all with one check. I made other purchases thru the store,pleased with the CHRISTMAS items I had found, went to pay for those at the front registers, and had to write another check which was DECLINED!! Talk about gettin hot and embarassed with a long line of Christmas shoppers behind me!?!? Thought I would barf I was soo upset and disappointed!! Money in the bank but TELECHECK would NOT approve. I know this is security based and holidays make it more high-risk, but what about me??
I spent 2 hours in that store choosing those specific items, plus the drive to the store (GAS prices)! I asked them to hold my items so I could get cash and b4 I got out of town called back and they had already took the items to be redistributed. Now IF and I say IF I go back in the morning, it will be a 2nd trip, more gas $$$, and taking a chance that I can find those exact items I wanted... TELECHECK has gotta improve this for us HONEST consumers!! I mean I understand the security issue.. Ive felt the pain of... Show more
