Check Declined as Suspicious Fraud Risk Despite Valid ID

I would like to say I have never in my life been so disgusted with store integrity as I have with this one. They have taken thousands of dollars from my husband and me in the past. I will never give them an opportunity again.

My husband works in the electrical field. I paint and do home improvements. Just recently, we paid all our credit cards off to get out of debt and kept none. We live on checks or cash to avoid fees. Our credit scores are very good, and we work productively in the fields we do.

We attempted to purchase supplies needed for our work this past week, and they denied our check for no reason whatsoever. We never received a reason, but it was under a thousand dollars, and we have written checks before for larger amounts than that. I must tell you, they were rude, would not give us a reason for this, and embarrassed my husband, my stepson, and myself for no apparent reason. Sadly, it became a joke when they tried to say their verifying system was probably down and could not give us a reason. But we were given an 1800 number and called to hear a voice recording tell us, "Your check writing patterns are suspicious and you are a risk for fraud."

Ha! My husband served in the military, and he had his I.D. and his license on him. I had my I.D. There is no bad credit, and our debt is paid. Anything else is pure paranoid suspicion. I think I have a lawsuit. What do you think?
