Certegy Check Services They decline people's checks if they are folded in the middle.Have to call long distance to find out what the reason is?? Tampa, Florida

The gentleman above is correct. Getting a checking acct. is a simple exercise in taking charge over your financial life.
1.Find a bank with free checking.
2. Make minimum deposit (Generally $100.00)
3. If you don't want to use checks, then just use the bank to cash your check so you can "hold [your] money".
You will save the 3% every time. If you add that up, you'd have spent an entire paycheck on check cashing in just over 33 checks.

The first comment about why don't I get a bank account is not helpful and not a part of a person's complaint..The problem's with check's in your money is virtual and I would choose to hold my money instead of a checking account..This way I can see what I have to work with and would like to pay cash on items ect..My complaint is for profileing a person with a computer..

I had to dial ong distance also 1-800-252-8989 all they way to Tampa and cost me a fotune

Get a checking account it is cheaper.......

On 3-20-10 I filled out an online complaint to the BBB.org for this company and I have recieved a reply.This company is a scam due to (profileing with a computer).They kept telling me the same thing...That there was nothing wrong with my checks but they still declined it because of what I now call profileing.Beware of the service from this company.
