I wrote a check over 5 Yrs ago to our local Family Dollar. The clerk made an error and the ck attempted to pay out of another person's acct. Instead of mine. The bank kicked it out and sent it back to Family Dollar Corporate. They contacted local FD who then contacted me and I was out of town on vacation. As soon as I returned home I rectified the error by writing another ck for that *** (plus fees even though it wasn't my fault I had plenty of cash in ***** **** cleared that day the mgr of ** took it over herself. However, in the meantime. Family Dollar Corporate had sent me to the Teleck system. Did not contact them once the problem was cleared up and now I keep getting my cks declined. My record with teleck it unblemished. They say it's because I wrote more cks than usual or I never wrote a ck there before or it was out of my normal ck writing well bully to them because I had ample enough cash in the bank everytime. They should not be allowed to make that decision or there computer needs updated or something because none of those reasons are true. I drive 30+ miles to have to shop. Yes I could get a credit card and yes I could get cash out of bank but I shouldn't have to. If I have enough money in the bank to cover my purchases I should be able to write as many checks as I want to whomever I want whenever I want. The kicker is I have tried to get out of their system and I can't they won't hear me when I say it's an error and was cleared up within a week if it happening. Help me someone this is truly driving me nuts. They need to be sued. They need to be stopped. Please help me get out from under their grasp or help me get people to file a class action suit anything I am begging for some kind of help hereBusiness Response

These jerks keep declining my checks forcing me to call them. They are outsourced to ******* and their phone contact is TERRIBLE. First they make you enter the routing and checking account; check number; address then they ask for ALL THAT AGAIN you literally have to put the information in twice. The first time I called the rep apologized and lifted the hold. The second time I called they refused to lift the hold although I had nearly $15,000 in my account and the purchase was only $53.59 for groceries! What happens is businesses buy the telecheck ******* and the telecheck (cheap outsource) service comes with it putting their customers through h*** The latest call took almost two hours of my time at the store with my child crying the entire time. Telecheck kept me on hold purposefully for exceedingly long times and when the finally answered I could barely understand them. Businesses should buy a different check franking machine than telechecks so they can get proper service. Plus its really creepy that they let ***** have access to allllllll our bank information OMG!!Business Response

This company has provided me with inaccurate information not once but twice by two agents who clearly do not have any idea of what to say to the consumer. There is a serious misinformation problem when being given information. For my issue two agents told me that since my profile was updated I shouldn't be having any issue presenting a check for payment, but upon further checking on information this business will red flag a check that is outside of perimeters for assessing risk. That is ludicrous and embarrassing and I won't stop complaining until something has been satisfactorily been done.Business Response

Dear ************,
Thanks for speaking with me on February 6, 2023 regarding the check declines you received. During our conversation, you
provided me with the bank information needed to locate the check declines in question. However, as explained below, there is
now an outstanding returned item in our system since those checks were presented which would need to be resolved before
TeleCheck could address the prior declines you received.
With the information in your complaint, we were able to locate the declined transactions in question which were processed on a
***** Fargo checking account ending in ****. TeleCheck issued Code 3 declines for these transactions because the account
had not built up sufficient history in our system to support approving these transactions. Below is summary of these declines:As we also discussed, TeleCheck identified another check that you wrote to Dollar Tree that was approved by TeleCheck but
subsequently was returned unpaid from that same checking account. During our call, you stated that the check returned due to a
security hold placed by the bank, but this check returned even after redeposit on February 13, 2023. Accordingly, this is an
active debt item in our system, which would need to be resolved before TeleCheck could address any other concerns raised in
your BBB complaint, i.e., possible modifications to help reduce future check declines. Below is a summary of the active item
in our database:If you would like to make a payment for this item, please call TRS ************************** at **************; in the
alternative your client can mail a cashiers check or money order to:

I received what was obviously a phishing email from this company, but called to be sure I had not been the victim of fraud or stolen identity. I provided the customer service representative (in *****) with the Reference number that was included on their email. I stated clearly that I did not have a Telecheck account and that I had not written any checks to a retail vendor. He immediately said that in order to pull up the information on this alleged check that I needed to provide my banking information. I immediately again stated that I do not have an account with them and hung up the phone. I am concerned because Telecheck had my home address and personal email account. Beware this company is a total scam and are the fraudsters/company trying to steal your banking information and likely identity.Business Response

Dear ********************,
Thank you for speaking with me on February 2, 2023 concerning your BBB complaint. Also, thank you for providing a copy of the
email you received which was sent by *********************** which is a third-party collector for our affiliate, TRS Recovery
Systems. As noted below, the debt item has since been corrected and removed from your consumer history.
TeleChecks records show that you previously contacted TRS, in August 2018 regarding four checks that you reported as fraudulent.
With the documentation you provided at that time, TRS identified two of those checks that were processed through TeleCheck. One
of the debt items was updated to a forgery, but one check was left as an active debt. The contact from TSI appears to have been
regarding this previous unpaid debt item.
Based on our conversation and review of the file, TeleCheck has updated the other debt item as forgery as well and has removed the
item from your consumer history. The two transactions TeleCheck identified were resolved and are listed below, noting each was
modified and closed.We believe this resolves the issues you have raised. However, if you have any additional questions or concerns, please call me directly

IN ALL FUTURE CORRESPONDENCE Dear ****************,
TeleCheck has received your BBB complaint. We greatly appreciate you providing both the decline and the image of the check from the declined transaction at Giant Supermarket.
For background, TeleCheck is a check acceptance company and specialty credit reporting agency which works with merchants who accept payment by check. TeleCheck evaluates and processes check payments by analyzing data associated with payment transactions against its database. Here, using the information provided, we have been able to determine that decline was caused by a misread of the check at the point of sale. During that process, extra digits were included in the bank account number received by ******************. This in turn caused the decline as TeleCheck showed no previous transactions using that number. As such, it appears to us that this decline was a one-off and should not recur for normally processed checks.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please call me directly at ************** or by email at ************************** You may also contact our ******************** at ************** Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET.

Sept 26, 2022 I made a purchase at ******* in ****** for $215.95. I signed a terminal authorizing my check to be debited electronically from my bank account. Additionaly the cashier put my check in her cash drawer and refused to return it to me. There was no need to keep the physical check but the cashier insisted she did the right thing in keeping my check. No one at ******* would assist me in getting back my physical check so I went home. I knew full well that ******* would be paid by EFT and then would turn around and deposit my physical check, thus getting another $215.95 of my money. I went to my bank and ask them to interceed but they eventually sent me a letter advising me to contact the merchant, *******. I called ******* headquarters and was routed to three different people trying to explain what had just happened. In the end, ******* told me to call Telecheck. No one at Telecheck answered intitally so I went on the website and filed a Dispute about the duplicate payment of $215.95 mailed Oct 31, 2022. Since that time I have had NO response from Telecheck. They have my Name, address, email and phone number, nevertheless, I still have not heard if they are even processing my dispute.
