Complaint
Extra charges on my check, Bad attitude From The manager to myself and when I asked him to return me my check he said no that he didnt care and for me to call the cops if I wanted to, every employee was laughing about the situation. When I asked him to explain to me why he was keeping it, and he said because he could.
He was disrespectful and asked me to lie if someone called me about the check and when I told him no that I didn't want to lie, he got upset and said for me to leave and that he wasn't going to return it to me. He was charging me $70 to cash a check in the amount of $500. I have a receipt as well.
No one wanted to help me afterward, and when I walked outside to get my phone, they denied my entry back into the store. I need this resolved.

Over charged on check cashing
Location on Bellaire Blvd charged 11% to exchange a check without prior knowledge that they would be charging that amount. Claims to only know once they submit it to their bank.
Quite honestly a robbery. Then have the nerve to give me a number thats not even corportates then when i call to ask for the right number they provide me with the phone number for their notary public which ofcourse they dont answer and dont respond to email.
User's recommendation: Dont come here. They will rob you.

Feb.14 2023 I attempted to get info.on check cashing fee for an Liberty Mutual collision insurance check of $1861.56. was told by the manager " we'll have to process check first.after waiting approx.10min.of employee calling different people he cash check placed in a envelope and slid it through the glass hole without counting.so I counted it in the store and realized $231.56 was charged as a cashing fee without a chance to cancel transaction because this manager would not give me my check back .
He / manager answered "there's a web link on the wall for customers complaints." Then said " it's on your receipt." This money is for repairs to my truck.Now I'm $200 short of payment. I have to report this to my insurance agency agent Carrie Vasquez. Please help to resolve this price gouging issue. I preferr my mother's email to correspond due mine being down as of now.
ELWillisus@***.com. thank you.

Have reason to believe this company display false advertisment.Due to sign of 1%check cashing does not specify which check out of God only knows how many there are except payroll.The sign doesn't even say what kinds of checks.The consumer only learns this after a 10min. wait to process.The teller/manager called me back to the window then slide an envelope thru the little hole.
Not counting the money in front of me.
So I counted it in front of him,to find out out of $1,861.56 check counted $1,630.which means he deducted $231.56.Denied the Right to Cancel when I ask for my check back sliding the money back in the lil hole. The manager responded " you can go to their website to file a complaint." "You can call the police." Once they get your check behind that glass it's then confiscated by their employees.They will not give it back to the owner..What give them the Right to go in the money that intended for myself from my insurance company.
User's recommendation: Ask the names or number of the different checks s they cash and which applies to the 1%rule and which checks have another rule.Warning you will have the Right to refuse/ Cancelation denied.

Check scamming
These people will use your info. They have your information in a text.
Not only that they cash checks without verifying them first. I dont know if thats legal or not but need to be looked into. You can request to give your check back and theyll literally argue and come up with 10 reasons why they can get it cashed and the others wont.
This place a joke and the scamming. If youre not Hispanic I would recommend not using their service.
- Get over
Preferred solution: They are scamming and it shows when you pay 10% for a check when the max check cashing is most times 5 to 6%

Fraudulent check
I received a call from you last Thursday regarding a fraudulent check a lady was trying to cash. Apparently my checks were stolen out of my mailbox.
You indicated you were notifying the police and my bank needs further information (police report number).
I have been trying to call you back, left messages, but have yet to hear back. Please contact me as soon as possible.
User's recommendation: No reply to my numerous calls and emails to A1 Check Cashing Service. One would think check cashing fraud would be a top priority for this type of business, but obviously not. Be ware!
Dealing with this exact same thing! We recorded the call this time.
Said they had us on camera, some lady answered the phone when we called back speaking Spanish. Then a guy took over and said he was an attorney for A1 check cashing.
They extorted money and information from me
TL;DR: Houston, TX - This place destroyed my stimulus check so that I could not bring it anywhere else. I had to "agree" to their huge fee and give them a bunch of information or throw away $1,200!
I made the mistake of walking up to the window of A1 Check Cashing (the one on Telephone road inside the Swift gas station) and passing my $1,200 stimulus check under the bullet-proof glass.
I asked the clerk what they charged, and she told me she refused to quote a price until I "created a profile", and signed the check(!). I asked for a ballpark estimate, and she said $100. I asked for my check back.
She got on the phone with her boss, and refused to give my check back for three or four minutes (I got insistent). Then she wrote VOID on the face of the check before sliding it back!
She said that was "policy" and I could still cash it anywhere else (no attempt to justify it beyond that).
I even went to the place next door to check, and of course you can't cash a voided check. Now my choice was to "give" A1 my business or throw away $1,200.
I had to give these scammers my social security number (the real one, I tried a fake one first), a fingerprint, a photo of my ID, and pay $100 for the privilege.
It seems to me like they committed at least felony destruction of property in front of a bunch of cameras, and I'm guessing they expect to get away with this kind of thing. The places are parasitic at the best of times, but I didn't expect a business in my neighborhood would literally rob me.
- Extorted a huge fee and a bunch of information from me
Preferred solution: Everybody goes to jail and the business goes bankrupt
User's recommendation: Go to HEB. Don't trust this company at all.
I'm guessing there's more to this than the complainer is letting on. However, this person doesn't have a case if they walked out of the store with the money. It will their word against the store who will show the transaction went down.
