Verified ReviewerDeclined transaction tio.
Telecheck supposedly declined a check on January 13th, 2025 for $40.26, made out to Walmart. I contacted Telecheck, they gave me that information, but I have no record on my bank statement that it was returned.
'Rain' at Telecheck said she can't help if it was a debit card. I don't have any checks to write from ICCU.
I only use a debit card. HELP.
- Decline debit cards but dont have any information for consumer
Preferred solution: Apology
User's recommendation: Good luck if you are declined

Verified Reviewer |I need to see about a check I know I have a check return but never received a letter
I know I have a returned check I've been trying to pay it for months but can't get through the answering auto thingy, I've tried so many times but the I can't answer what they are asking for and there is no other options I just want to pay it but need all this unnecessary information
Terrible experience.
I never write checks, but I needed to pay the dealership for a costly $3k car repair and didn't want to get charged a 3% credit card fee. The dealership ran the check through twice and it was denied both times.
I called into TeleCheck to find out what the problem was. They asked me a bunch of questions to verify my identity and then said pretty much, yeah, you are denied because lack of history. I was told I could wait 24 hours and try again! I'm standing at a dealership with my ride waiting outside and am leaving on vacation tomorrow.
I'm not waiting 24 hours to try again! I finally decided to use all the cash I had on hand for vacation which was about $2500 and tried to write a check for the remaining $500 and that was DENIED too! What a joke. The account had 10x that amount in it, and I've got a credit score of 828.
Maybe this is just a ploy to force people to pay the service fee to use a credit card.
Bottom line is this...The merchant/dealership doesn't care. They pay for this service to protect themselves. TeleCheck doesn't care either. They get paid by the merchant.
So, they both win while it's only the customer who loses.
And there is nothing we can do about that. Terr
User's recommendation: Refuse to use businesses that employ this service
Prevented the use of a check to pay for disabled person's items at Walmart
In preparation for my disabled daughter's move into a group home, we took her to Walmart to buy personal care items. Telecheck denied a check written from her social security disability account despite adequate funds in the account, and no history of fraudulent or returned checks or other negative information.
It seems that because the account is relatively new, with few checks written on it, they automatically reject those checks. We have few ways to pay for my daughter's needs because of social security disability rules, and telecheck is making her life even harder than it needs to be.
User's recommendation: None. You are at the mercy of third parties like telecheck that interfere with your financial transactions.

Speak to a human person to help resolve the problem. There are too many useless items to try to resolve just one problem!

Verified ReviewerHolding my debt hostage
First off, they should be fined by the government for not having a functioning phone number. They have no lines of communication and this needs to be addressed.
They are holding consumers' debts hostage. This is stopping me from obtaining a credit union bank account. This is unacceptable. I have made several attempts to take care of this debt.
This company needs to be investigated for unfair consumer practices. How long will they be allowed to hold people's debts hostage?
- Bad debt company
Preferred solution: I would like the debt so you can pay for it. This holding me back and I don't like lingering debts that I wasn't aware not showing up for j my credit report. This should of been on my credit report but it's not but it's still hurting me.
User's recommendation: Don't trust them

Verified Reviewer |Has my returned check cleared
Once the check has cleared the bank and the returned fee of $25.00 has been processed, it should not take your electronic system 15-20 days to clear the check writer out of your system. Check writing privileges should be restored immediately.
Declined checks from both my accounts at different banks
I tried to pay my cell phone bill by online check option because of new fee when a debit or credit card is used and my check was declined. I tried using a different checking account at a different bank and it was declined also.
I have used the online check option before and it has worked it was just not my usual payment method.
I tried to call and find out the issue but you can not get a person on the phone and you can not use the website because my cell phone company doesn't require a check number to process a payment but telecheck required a check number to find out information. Telecheck is nothing but a scam and shouldn't be allowed to be in business

Verified ReviewerIncorrect consumer data
My check was refused and when I called for more information I was told the last four digits of my bank account number don't match their information. It's literally my only account with this financial institution and they're telling me I'm wrong and to call my bank to get the correct number. I'm looking at the checks AND logged into my online banking and can see I am correct and all this girl can say to me is "sorry." Where do these people get their information?
