Went into Chase Bank where we were told that the check was void since we scratched out on it.....it was in the name of the account holder and wanting to cash her own check. The teller went to the manager and was told that the check was void....Thoughts? We are now saying good bye to Chase Bank. Your thoughts?
Forgive me but is sounds fishy to me. "Wanted to cash her own check." If, "she was there, she could simply tear up that check and write another one. It is not Chase, an altered check is void. "Cash a check," if the check was deposited into the account, they would hold the funds until the check cleared.
