I went to BB&T to cash my paycheck because it is the bank that my boss pays us from. I went to the drive-thru window and put my check for $325.00 and my driver's license into the tube. A few minutes later I received my money and license back. I pulled forward to allow others access to the window and counted my money. $325.00 is what I received. This was on a Friday.
Two days later my boss called me and asked me how much I had received. After I told him the amount, he said that his account was $2925.00 less than it should be. He keeps careful watch on his account because of past problems with BB&T and similar happenings.
Later that week I was asked to contact a bank officer named Kim Kelly. She informed me that $3250.00 was withdrawn from my boss's account on the day I cashed my check. She also informed me that I had until that afternoon to bring her $2925.00 or face prosecution.
After a long discussion with her, in which I thought she understood that I only received $325.00, we hung up. My boss got his account straightened out after about a week.
Now, about 3 weeks later, I have been served with papers for small claims court. BB&T says that I owe them $2925.00 for overpayment of a cashed check.
Be careful if you deal with Branch Banking & Tricks. Have a witness with you. If at all possible, just stay away from them.
