I have written 3 checks in the past month, the 1st one in August - declined, 2nd one on Sept. 4 both written at Finish Line. After the 2nd check I asked for the company that declined it phone number. I called and spoke to one of Certegy's Representative - Joyce on 9/11/09 @ 3:37pm. When I explained my situation and gave her the informatioin to look up in the system, she found that there was no history of outstanding checks, NSF checks, or anything that would be a problem. She said that these checks are done randomly and that some of the numbers on your check matched other numbers for possible fraudulant check writting. I asked her if nothing was found under my name then why are my checks being declined, she said that this is just random. I then explained to her that if I write another check that is declined I will be calling back and that Certegy has purposely put my information in the system to decline. She explained that is not how it works. It just happened on 9/14/09 me and my husband went to AJ Wright, a store that we always shop at and write checks, never had a problem with writing a check prior to this day. And when I asked the sales associate the reason she gave me a piece of paper with a number to contact and WHO KNEW it had CERTEGY on it to contact. This right here is *BS* and do not understand this companies way of processing or randomly checking the checks and what right they have to stop someone from writing a check that has never had a problem with writing one to both these companies. I feel like if a few of us get together for an action lawsuit we could win. Certegy is an unfair company that thinks they can do what they want and get away with it. I will file an official complaint to whomever I need to get some type of attention. A very angry consume
