Okay. Here's the dilemma.
Back in October 06 I was going to cash my roommates check at my bank to save her a $5 surcharge from getting it cashed at a gas station. So I go to my credit union and they won't cash the check because she doesn't have an account there and at the time my credit union only had members who worked for goverment or who's parents opened them an account as in my case.
So I keep her signed check in the middle console of my car. A week later I go to look for it but can't find it. So we resolve that A:Someone we were hanging out with snatched it or B:We threw it away on accident when cleaning the car out
So we go back to this place of employment and ask a manager Terry to find out about this check and either A: to reorder the check or if it's been cashed B: we need to know so we can do something about it with the police department. The check was only 200 dollars and some change. He says he'll check on it. We come back weeks later..still no info, he forget to check on the check. Weeks later we come back, he tells us to come back. And this continues until now. It's February and still no check. We went last week to remind him again and was hoping he would have it but he didn't and told us to call him this week.
So Jayne my roommate calls the company number and tries to find his extension on the dial by name directory to leave him a message but she doesn't know his last name so she goes by the dial by name directory and leaves a message for the owner since it would seem the manager we were in contact with these past months seemed more than too busy/incompetent to really get to the bottom of it.
So today a completely different manager named Chris calls and is rude with Jayne. He chastises her for talking to Terry about the issue, he chastises her verbally about leaving a message on the owners voicemail and that 'he thought it sounded like Jayne and implied to her that the voice message she had was sent to the company's lawyer, he chastises her because it's 'only 200 dollars and he's been on the phone with her for 10 minutes of his time and his time is worth that much', and just being strangely defensive and unhelpful.
He tells her the last check they issued her was on October 23rd and that it was cashed at a Regions bank. He calls later and contradicts himself and tells her the last check was issued on the 16th. He wouldn't give her the check number either, he said if the police come up there he will give it to them. I don't understand why he's being so uncooperative but by him acting like this I think he may be lying to keep funds in the company account and that we'll give up.
I've tried contacting the company that prints their checks and they can't help, I've tried contacting Regions bank and they won't help because they need the check number and the bank that the company's account is at, and the sherriff won't begin to file a report unless Jayne can get a check number. The company is being completely uncooperative and the lady at H.R. won't call us back either so it seems like they're scamming us. Do I just need to go to the sherriff department/investigator office and ask them to help and they might be more inclinced to action if we come to them live in person? I don't know what to do. I've reached a brick wall and it seems to me that it's unjust that a company can withhold information about an illegal check cashing to start investigation. Also Jayne tries to contact Terry to ask for his help but he tells Jayne he was told by upper management not to talk to her. This seems like they're hiding something! Please help!
Kind regards,
Hayden
