I e-mailed my payroll department today to tell them about being charged six dollars for a 53.00 check I cashed at BofA.
The district I work for is the fifth largest district in the nation.
Bank of America was adamant I pay their fee even though I mentioned the district I worked for would probably not be happy when they found out BofA was chaging school employees a fee for cashing their own checks.
I received a prompt response from the district. The contacted Bank of AMerica and told them to reimburse the district for the six dollars. They e-mailed me and told me they would send me a check.
I had cashed my checks at this BofA before and had never been charged six dollars.
Bank of America could care less when you are one person standing in line.
They did however apologize and return the money to the district.
Thanks to my school district for dealing with the matter.
For about five minutes I felt empowered!
It is a wonderful feeling to be vindicated.

Bank of America charges me to cash their check..
I work for the fifth largest school district in the nation and our payroll checks are cut through Bank of America.
The district also uses them for disbursement of expense checks such as mileage.
I went into the bank to cash my check and I was charged 6.00 for a 52.00 check written for THEIR bank.
They told me since I do not have an account with them I can't cash THEIR check without paying them.
Since when do banks have the right to charge people who come to the bank to cash their own checks?
This has gone too far.
They charged more than if I went to a check cashing business.
Bank of America has become arrogant and greedy.
