Banking nightmare for student
Jan. 18, 5 p.m. 6600 block of UTSA Boulevard

A student said she would “cash” checks for a friend because she had lost her ID. She would take the friend with her, endorse the checks, but would not deposit them into her account because she is living on the fixed income of financial aid, and keeps an eye on deposits carefully.

The teller would hand the student money in an envelope, and she would hand it to her friend. The student originally had $465.60 in her account, and now is in the red by $2,881.11. After late fees and a $700 check pending, she will owe her bank $4,601. The complainant does not know why her account went negative by “cashing” checks for her friend from another account. She tried to speak to the manager of the bank, but the manager told her a check is only a piece of paper and verification for checks aren’t done until later. She was still trying to work with a bank and an attorney on the matter at the time of this report.
