Certegy Check Services

Denied a State Income tax Refund Check, From what the clerks are telling me they are denying all Oregon Checks.

Today 7-2-2010 I went to Wal-Mart to cash my Social Security check I live on a very limited budget and I do not have a Bank account so for the past few month I have taken my check to Walmart. Today I was told they could not cash it and give me the 866-278-5478# so I went out to my daughter car and call them they told me that my check was good and nothing was holding it from going throw but that I need to take it to a check cashing place. I told the lady I could not do that as I\'m on a limited budget and spending $40 to cash the check was out of the question. I then asked them to give me a list of place that would cash it for less or that did not use certegy she told me they did not have a list to help me. I fill outraged that I’m 60+year old and I had a GOVERNMENT CHECK that was declined. I told them \"You need to find a batter way to run check\" this is just wrong and very on far to the costumers that have not done anything wrong.

Today at 11:41am I went to target and tried to pay using a check. I was denied based on information ID#8946814288. I immediately called Centra Credit Union to see if there was an issue with my checking acct. and they told me that my account was fine and there were sufficient funds to cover the amount I wrote the check for. I then called Certegy and got an animated service that had no information that could help me and when I tried to get a person I got disconnected. I have since ran a credit report thru Experian, Equifax, and Transunion. I had no negatives in my profile and have a credit score of between 747 to 765. It said that I had an excellent rating. I am outraged that I was denied writing a check for my purchases and that the Target clerk spoke quite loudly about my check issue and made me feel extremely embarrassed. I hope that this issue can be resolved soon.
