BB&T ripoff filed suit against me for cashing paycheck Beaufort North Carolina
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, put my check for $325.00 and my drivers license into the tube. A few minutes later I recived my money and license back. I pulled forward to allow others access to the window and counted my money. $325.00 is what I recieved. This was on a Friday.
Two days later my boss calls me and ask me how much I recieved. After informing him of the amount, he told me that his account was $2925.00 less than it should be. He keeps carefull watch on his account because of past problems with BB&T and similiar happenings.
Later that week I am asked to contact a bank officer named Kim Kelly. She informs me that $3250.00 was withdrawn from my bosses account on the day I cashed my check. She also informs me that I have untill 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 recieved $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 CAREFULL IF YOU DEAL WITH BRANCH BANKING & TRICKS. Have a witness with you. If at all possible just stay away from them.

I used to work as a proof machine operator for a major bank, before I got carpel tunnel and had to quit. What I think happened is that the encoder encoder the check as 3500.00 instead of 350.00. That can happen. What I can't understand is how that encoder could sent it thru, we have to ballance to the penny. Have your employer look at the bottom of the check and see how much it was encoded for-that happens after it goes to the teller. If it says 3500.00 then it IS the banks and the encoders fault and she should be made aware of it.

Went to court today. BB&T lost due to lack of evidence. I did find out that the teller told my boss that on the day in question she counted the money out to me and that I had enterd the bank. It sounds like she got my transaction and someone elses mixed up. So perhaps someone did get extra money in their hands? Who Knows? I still can't believe I had to go through all this. Will update again if anything new turns up.
