XX/XX/2016 Saturday - Check cashing practice correction requested We received XXXX checks that today we tried unsuccessfully to cash at the United Check Cashing franchise addressed above. A cashier employee who identified herself as XXXX refused to cash my IRS refund check written XXXX Department of Treasury and my refund check from the XXXX XXXX XXXX Department XXXX XXXX. The cashier XXXX XXXX XXXX told us that she would not cash the checks because they were both presented to her more than 30 days since the issue dates. Issue dates XX/XX/2016 for the XXXX of Delaware check and XX/XX/2016 for the XXXX Treasury check. The state check indicates that it can be cashed for up to 6 months past issue date and the XXXX treasury check indicates XXXX year processing from issue date. I shared with XXXX that I am frustrated with what amounts to arbitrary check cashing experience at United Check Cashing. I have utilized various United Check Cashing services for more than 30 years in XXXX but nowhere has the experience been more unpredictable depending upon the cashier encountered for the transaction than this XXXX, Delaware, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX franchise. As XXXX told us that she would not cash my checks ; she directed my attention to a sign on the wall visible during exit from the establishment that reads in part, '' we do n't cash checks over 30 days. ' I reminded XXXX that the only IRS check that I have ever cashed unless it was direct deposit ; was more than 30 days past issue date, including here. United Check Cashing practice is harmful and provides for at will ; discrimination. As a XXXX person ; it was a struggle for me to enter the United Check Cashing establishment ; let alone enter with assistance and be denied service. The actions of United Check Cashing would have caused me to have to discard the checks XXXX money ) had it not been for the secondary fact ; that XXXX Bank cashed the checks readily and happily. When I contacted United Check Cashing to get the owner contact information ; XXXX in rude behavior practice ; hung up the phone which was on speaker phone on my end and open to myself and a family member present. Please remedy the actions taking place at this United Check Cashing franchise so that people who have limited options are not forced to throw away IRS or XXXX checks.

Loan for business capital. Only documents I received were signature pages. Text correspondence ( that I still have ) confirmed that I could pay loan off with interest forgiven. Was told the interest was high, but would be lowered " way down '' by an early payoff. Tried to get payoff quote today and was informed it would take XXXX on a XXXX dollar loan to pay it off. I was grossly mislead by a third party securing this business loan.
