Tennessee Storefront Loans--- Not cashing the check??
Date: Thu, 07/30/2009 - 07:34
I'm just curious why after almost a week they havent cashed the check yet?! I mean, I realize a lot of times they get NSF's and people that just dont want to pay, LOL, but..... I mean after a week, still calling and harassing me when the only reason I put the cash in the bank was because of "their" rules.
Who do you bank with? And were there funds in the bank to cover

As funny as it may seem, there are some storefronts that will not deposit checks, only exchange them for a cashiers check at the bank. This is done to control costs and keep employees from manipulating the system to earn larger incentives.
I ask about the bank because there are some banks that will not cash the check even if the funds are there.
Based on what you have described, I would surmize that you owe money to Check Into Cash.
Interesting. Thanks PDLOwner. No, the two that said it were A

No, the two that said it were Advance America and then a little locally owned placed called Cash Advance.
I bank with First Tennessee. The funds are there. There's a number on the check itself for verification if they want to make sure the funds are there.
Cash Advance still calls, and she left a message last time saying I could "leave a money order slipped under the door" if I wanted to have someone else drop it off (since Im out of town), but.... there's no way I'm having anyone drop off money knowing they then have the check AND my cash.
OK. Now that you mentioned it, AA may not deposit check either,
OK. Now that you mentioned it, AA may not deposit check either, but I thought that they had changed that policy. If it is a case where they do not deposit at the store level, you may want to check with First Tennessee and see if they will provide a cashiers check to PDL stores. As I mentioned, there are many banks that will not exchange it or will for an enormous fee such as $20-$25. With no more than they are allowed to charge down there, it would not be cost effective for them to cash the check and lose all profit on the advance. I would suggest making that call to check. You can also call both stores to ask why they have not taken the check to the bank. In the end, I would just get a money order for the amount due and mail it to each store. With the MO, I would also ask if they could return the check stamped PAID to you via USPS. Should not be any issue with that route from thier end. Just make a copy of the MO before you send it for your records and if you want some verification that they received it, send it Priority Mail with a delivery confirmation. It will cost about $6, but will give you piece of mind.
Just as an FYI, we have done this exact process with all 3 companies that I have been affiliated with over the last 12 years and it has worked fine. In the end, they will be happy since it is one less past due account that they have to deal with.
