Hi all I've been meaning to update every1, but have been a little busy this week, anyway I rec'd my check on Tuesday May 27th as they stated, it was supposed to be delivered at 8:00pm, but I went on Fed ex's website and chose to pick it up from their main office so I was able to pick it up when they opened at 9:00am. Then came cashing it, I haven't had a checking account in quite a few years and have always used a check cashing company to cash my checks, anyway I started with one I have gone to for years and they would not cash it saying they couldn't verify the company was legit, so I should try Chase bank where it was drawn from, off to chase bank I go, since I didn't have an account there they asked for 2 forms of ID which I gave them, they verified the account being legit, and called the number they had on file to verify they had indeed issued me a check for $1500.00, well they said they were waiting for them to call back with confirmation that I was issued the check. This was taking awhile so they said they would call me when it was confirmed.....I called them 2 times, they still hadn't heard back from them, and since they were East Coast, and I'm on the West Coast, it wasn't going to be till the following day. I was frustrated as hell, went to another check cashing (3 of them) no one would cash it!!! I was pissed! I called, contacted live chat etc.., finally gave up for the day. The following day I had an email & a voice mail from them, I returned the call spoke to a very nice gentleman who told me the check was valid (I already knew this) and to try again, and if I had any problems to have them call him and he would confirm it was issued to me. I went to another Chase Bank closer to where I lived, told them I had a problem the day before at another location, & at check cashing stores, informed them they could call to confirm, they asked for 2 forms of ID said they would call the number they had on file and be right back, they kept their word & returned within 3 minutes, saying since I didn't have an acct with them, there would be a $6.00 fee to cash it, & would I like it in all large bills! I was so relieved & satisfied with the bank and Cleo's for being so helpful!!! The check cashing stores I am not so happy with tho they pissed me off!! anyway thanks again for all your help Mben, and anyone else waiting for their check, relax it may take awhile to get but you will get it, and if you use check cashing stores, make sure you tell them the check is a payroll check for work you did for the company, (that's what Cleo's told me to say), and you may be able to cash it, but I recommend going straight to Chase Bank, and cashing it there. *Sorry I didn't mean to turn this into a novel.
